Effects of Age and Middle Ear on the Frequency Tuning of the cVEMP and oVEMP

Abstract

Dizziness is a rare complaint among children. In this article, the authors present the embryology and development of the vestibular system, and offer a rational approach to taking a careful history and ordering and interpreting appropriate vestibular and balance testing in children. A differential diagnosis is presented, so that the likely cause of the balance disorder can be elucidated even in the most complex pediatric patients. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
