Vestibular Migraine in Children
Vestibular Migraine in Children
This clinically focused webinar will explore recurrent vertigo and dizziness in children, which may have a migraine-related origin, but recognising vestibular migraine in paediatric patients is not always straightforward.
Topics will include:
- The pathophysiology of vestibular migraine and the interaction between the vestibular system, migraine pathways, and sensory processing
- The main vestibular manifestations associated with migraine in children
- Recurrent vertigo of childhood and episodic syndromes associated with migraine
- Clinical clues and practical strategies to facilitate recognition and assessment
- Clinical experience in the evaluation and management of children with dizziness and suspected vestibular migraine
This session will focus on a condition that is still often overlooked or diagnosed late, with the goal of increasing awareness and supporting earlier recognition.
