Abstract
Children frequently present with complaints of vertigo and/or disequilibrium. The etiology of such diagnoses include inner ear pathology, migraine and its variants, lesions of the central nervous system as well as mental health disorders, among others. The ability to reliably evaluate vestibular end-organ function is central to accurate diagnosis, however, examining children can be challenging. The current chapter will focus on the approach to assessing vestibular end-organ function in children, as well as the causes of vestibular impairment that are unique to this population.
期刊介绍：
Material for each volume in this series has been skillfully selected to document the most active areas of otorhinolaryngology and related specialties, such as neuro-otology and oncology. The series reproduces results from basic research and clinical studies pertaining to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, course, prognosis and therapy of a variety of ear, nose and throat disorders. The numerous papers correlating basic research findings and clinical applications are of immense value to all specialists engaged in the ongoing efforts to improve management of these disorders. Acting as a voice for its field, the series has also been instrumental in developing subspecialities into established specialities.
