lüll Vertigo and imbalance in children: a retrospective study in a Helsinki University otorhinolaryngology clinic Riina N; Ilmari P; Kentala EArch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2005[Nov]; 131 (11): 996-1000OBJECTIVE: To determine medical characteristics of children with vertigo who visited an otorhinolaryngology (ENT) clinic during a 5-year period. DESIGN: A retrospective chart review carried out between 2000 and 2004. SETTING: Helsinki University Central Hospital tertiary referral center ENT clinic. SUBJECTS: A total of 119 children (63 girls and 56 boys), ranging in age from 7 months to 17 years (mean age, 10.9 years at examination). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients were identified from the ENT clinic database based on hospital discharge codes, with data stored in the database and the SPSS program applied for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Only 0.7% of children visiting the hospital during the 5-year period had vertigo. Benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, migraine-associated dizziness, vestibular neuronitis, and otitis media-related dizziness accounted for vertigo in most of the children. CONCLUSIONS: Vertigo is a rare primary complaint of children in an ENT clinic. In achieving a diagnosis, the most valuable tools are medical history, an otoneurologic examination, electronystagmography, and audiography.|Adolescent[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Child Welfare[MESH]|Child, Preschool[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Finland/epidemiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Infant Welfare[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Otitis Media/diagnosis/epidemiology/physiopathology[MESH]|Otolaryngology[MESH]|Outpatient Clinics, Hospital[MESH]|Physician-Patient Relations[MESH]|Prevalence[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Vertigo/diagnosis/*epidemiology/physiopathology[MESH] |
