Vertigo in Children: Differential Diagnosis and Treatment

Lydia Eviatar M.D.1 and Abraham Eviatar M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics (Pediatric Neurology), The Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center, and the Department of Otolaryngology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York

A study of vertigo in 50 children showed that a careful neurological examination should be performed for all patients. A detailed family and personal history to find possible episodes of loss of consciousness or seizures should be obtained; 13 children with vertiginous seizures had a positive family history for seizures and 5 had febrile seizures in infancy. Electroencephalograms should be obtained in all instances of vertigo occurrence.
