The consultation of children with acute-onset symptoms of vertigo or dizziness is not common in the emergency department; however, when it does occur, it can pose significant challenges in defining a diagnosis and determining a course of action. Therefore, when symptoms appear suddenly and last for hours, prompt medical help is sought. The causes of acute vestibular syndrome in the pediatric population vary based on age group. In young children, it is important to establish an effective communication channel for accurate symptom interpretation. Moreover, an interdisciplinary approach, including appropriate consultations and complementary studies, is essential to reach a correct diagnosis.
