Abstract

The literature is relatively deficient on the subject of paediatric vertigo. As a matter of fact, you need to have a special interest in this field to indulge into this problem at length. The causes and management of common causes of dizziness as well as some rare but but important conditions like the Dilated Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome are discussed.
