    Diagnosing acute vestibular symptoms in children is crucial. Bedside neurophthalmological examination helps differentiate end-organ from central nervous system causes, guiding prompt and accurate treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Neuro-otology

    Background:

    • Acute vestibular symptoms in children often stem from labyrinthitis or central nervous system (CNS) diseases.
    • Accurate diagnosis is critical as management and prognosis differ significantly between end-organ and central causes.

    Observation:

    • This study focuses on differentiating central vestibulopathy from peripheral causes in pediatric patients.
    • Key bedside diagnostic tools include nystagmus characterization, past pointing, Romberg test, and detailed history.

    Findings:

    • Central vestibulopathy was presumptively diagnosed in both presented pediatric cases before invasive procedures.
    • Specific neurophthalmological findings were instrumental in reaching this bedside diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Enhanced bedside diagnostic skills can improve the accuracy of diagnosing acute vestibular dysfunction in children.
    • Early differentiation between central and peripheral causes can lead to more appropriate and timely interventions.
