dc.description ObjectiveVertigo is a complaint consisting of wide spectrumof diagnoses in childhood. The aim of this study wasto evaluate clinical characteristics and differentialdiagnosis of pediatric patients with vertigo.Material and MethodsIn this retrospective study, the medical records ofa hundred patients who presented to the PediatricNeurology Outpatient clinic with the complaint ofvertigo between January 2018-January 2021 werereviewed. Patients were evaluated for age, gender,family history, duration of symptoms, frequency ofattacks, provoking factors, accompanying symptoms,physical examination, laboratory findings and finaldiagnosis.ResultsThe mean age was 12.39 years. The majority of thepatients were males (64%). There were differentcauses of vertigo, but the most common two wereinfection (34%) and psychogenic vertigo (25%). Theother frequent reasons were orthostatic hypotension(16%) and vitamin B12 deficiency (9%). Most of thepatients had symptom duration for less than onemonth (46%), and the attacks were primarily seen(65%) every day. Patients explained their attacks asthe motion of the surrounding (61%), spinning (27%),imbalance (20%), and others. The most commonaccompanying symptoms were fatigue (60%) andheadache (54%). Laboratory data revealed vitaminB12 deficiency in nine patients; all other tests werein the normal range. Thirty-nine patients had cranialMRI, only 2 of them revealed abnormal findings, oneof them was responsible for vertigo.ConclusionVertigo in children creates a profound sense ofanxiety both in parents and physicians leading toexcessive number of functional testing and imagingexaminations. Evaluation should begin with detailedhistory and comprehensive physical evaluation toavoid superfluous testing and diagnostics. Seriouscases are fortunately rare and can be detected bycareful clinical examination.
dc.description AmaçÇocukluk çağında vertigo, geniş ayırıcı tanısı olan biryakınmadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, vertigo şikayeti ilebaşvuran çocuk hastaların klinik özelliklerini belirlemekve ayırıcı tanılarını değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve YöntemBu retrospektif çalışmada, Ocak 2018-Ocak 2021 tarihleriarasında Çocuk Nöroloji Polikliniğine, vertigoşikayeti ile başvuran yüz hastanın tıbbi kayıtları incelendi.Hastalar yaş, cinsiyet, aile öyküsü, semptomlarınsüresi, atak sıklığı, provoke edici faktörler, eşlikeden semptomlar, fizik muayene, laboratuvar bulgularıve aldığı tanı açısından değerlendirildi.BulgularOrtalama yaş 12.39 idi. Hastaların çoğunluğu (%64)erkekti. Vertigonun farklı nedenleri vardı, ancak enyaygın olan tanı, enfeksiyon (%34) ve psikojenik vertigo(%25) idi. Diğer sık nedenler arasında ortostatikhipotansiyon (%16) ve vitamin B12 eksikliği (%9)saptandı. Hastaların çoğunda semptom süresi bir aydankısaydı ve ataklar genel olarak her gün görüldü.Hastalar ataklarını, çevrenin hareketi (%61), dönme(%27), dengesizlik (%20) ve diğerleri olarak tanımladı.En sık eşlik eden şikayetler, yorgunluk (%60) vebaş ağrısı (%54) olarak belirlendi. Laboratuvar verilerideğerlendirildiğinde; dokuz hastada vitamin B12 eksikliğisaptandı; diğer tüm testler normal aralıktaydı.Otuz dokuz hastaya kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntülemeyapılmıştı, 2 hastada anormal bulgu saptandıve anormal bulgulardan sadece biri vertigodansorumluydu.SonuçÇocuklarda vertigo, hem ebeveynlerde hem de doktorlardaendişe duygusu yaratır ve çoğunlukla fazlalaboratuvar ve görüntüleme incelemesine yol açar.Gereksiz araştırmalardan kaçınmak için değerlendirmeyeayrıntılı öykü ve kapsamlı fiziksel muayene ilebaşlanmalıdır. Vertigoya sebep olan ciddi durumlarnadirdir ve dikkatli klinik muayene ile tespit edilebilir.
