Article Abstract
Vestibular function testing is recommended in children who report dizziness and in children with imbalance or delays in gross motor milestones related to sensorineural hearing loss. This clinical consensus statement developed by the American Academy of Audiology serves as a guide for assessing vestibular function in the pediatric population and allows for expected variations in practice and available equipment. It focuses on the pediatric approach to test administration and interpretation, offers protocols and tips for testing, and provides additional information on individual tests of vestibular function. Basic, practical knowledge of vestibular testing is required to incorporate the guidance provided in this consensus statement. Children have activities of daily living that are different from those of adults, so the overall goal of assessment and intervention should be to arrive at the best recommendations to help children meet their vestibular goals without hindrance to educational, social, and developmental outcomes. As this area of pediatric vestibular testing develops, more normative data and test techniques will be included, and this guidance will continue to evolve.

The present protocol evaluates the relative impact of visual and vestibular inputs during roll plane rotations using optokinetic, vestibular, and combined visuovestibular stimulations. Subjects underwent isolated visual rotations, whole-body vestibular rotations in darkness, and visuovestibular stimulations combining static visual scenes with head rotations. Dynamic and static eye movement gains, absolute amplitudes, velocities, and accelerations were measured alongside perceptual responses.

Background: The high heterogeneity in vestibular migraine (VM) complicates understanding its precise pathophysiological mechanisms and identifying potential biomarkers. This study investigated the heterogeneity in VM using a newly proposed method called Individualized Differential Structural Covariance Network (IDSCN) analysis.
Methods: Structural T1-weighted MRI scans were performed on 55 patients with VM and 65 healthy controls, and an IDSCN was constructed for each patient.

Positional nystagmus is a frequently encountered yet often underappreciated clinical sign that provides critical insights into vestibular and central nervous system function. For the general neurologist, recognising and correctly interpreting positional nystagmus can significantly impact diagnostic accuracy and guide appropriate management of common and complex dizziness presentations. The current diagnostic framework for positional nystagmus disproportionately favours BPPV, underestimates central positional nystagmus (CPN), and over-relies on imaging.
