Introduction: Dizziness in childhood is a complaint of a wide spectrum of diagnoses. This is common to
misdiagnose the cause of dizziness in children, which eventually results in the delay of treatment. The aim
of this study was to review the clinical characteristics and neurotological evaluation of vertigo in patients
younger than 18 years and assist in making a differential diagnosis for children with vertigo and balance
disorders. Differential diagnosis can assist to determine the correct management strategy to treat vertigo
and imbalance in pediatric patients. Methods: Children presenting with a chief complaint of vertigo or
unsteadiness to REHEAR SPEEECH AND HEARING CLINIC, BURSWAN, were included for this
study based on clinical history, physical examination, and neurotological evaluation. Results: A total of
15 patients with a mean age of 11.67 years were evaluated. The most common cause associated with
vertigo or dizziness was found to be vestibular migraine seen in 5 participants of this study. This was
followed by unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy in 4 patients, bilateral peripheral vestibulopathy in 2
patients, and central vestibulopathy in 1 patient. Vertigo was also seen to be associated with various other
disorders. Conclusion: Vertigo in children should be taken seriously by the clinician and family. Pediatric
vertigo can be due to many reasons. History and evaluation are the only way to diagnose the etiology and
site of lesion. This will prevent misdiagnosis and delay in the treatment, which can ultimately lead to
deterioration of the quality of life.
