Abstract

The diagnosis and treatment of pediatric vertigo present a multidisciplinary clinical challenge due to children's difficulty in accurately describing their symptoms and their limited cooperation during vestibular function tests, which often hinders systematic evaluation and standardized treatment in clinical settings. This article, authored from the perspective of otolaryngologists, offers an analysis of approaches and considerations for diagnosing and treating pediatric vertigo, aiming to enhance clinicians' understanding of these disorders.
