Abstract

ABSTRACT

Background: The normative data of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPS) in normal children.

Aim of the work: To investigate the normative VEMP results in normal children because there is currently little information available regarding normal VEMP results in children. This will aid in the future in identifying any abnormalities, which will enable us to identify any vestibular and balance dysfunctions in children.

Methods: 10 participants were included in this study and all of them were examined with both types of VEMP (cVEMP and oVEMP) tests.

Results: For every child, VEMP was tested. Latencies and amplitudes of children were different than that of adults.

Conclusion: The function of the otolith in normal children could be assessed using VEMP testing. Furthermore, it is reasonable to anticipate lower amplitude and shorter latencies in the normal youngsters compared to adult levels.



Keywords: VEMP parameters in normal children, vestibular and balance dysfunctions in children.
