“…Our results differ from the obser vations of some authors [Basser, 1964;Koenigsberger et al, 1970;Dunn and Snyder, 1976;Dalla Bernardina et ah, 1982] who reported the predominant finding of a re duced or absent caloric response in one or both ears. In agreement with the criticisms of Sanner and Bergstrom [1979] and of EegOlofsson et ah [1982], we also find it difficult to explain how a mono-or bilateral perma nent loss of caloric excitability could be re lated to a transient paroxysmal disorder such as BPV.…”

“…After the original and masterly descrip tion given by Basser in 1964, cases of BPV in children have been reported with increasing frequency [Fenichel, 1967;Koenigsberger et al, 1970;Watson and Steele, 1974;Dunn and Snyder, 1976;Eviatar and Eviatar, 1977;Vercelletto et al, 1979;Koehler, 1980;Eeg-Olofsson et al, 1982;Dalla Bernardina et al, 1982;Viani et al, 1982]. However, the disor der probably has been previously described, for example by Lerique-Koechlin et al [1961], without the precise nosological char acterization given by Basser [1964],…”

The two main problems in defining and classifying the syndrome of benign paroxysmal vertigo (BPV) in childhood are the vestibular function pattern and the relationship between BPV and migraine. 13 children suffering from this syndrome were submitted to complete otoneurological examination, including caloric and rotational labyrinthine stimulation with ENG recording, and to headache provocation tests with nitroglycerin, histamine and fenfluramine. Vestibular responses were normal in all except 2 cases which presented signs of central vestibular impairment at the level of the vestibulocerebellar pathways. Headache provocation tests were positive in 9 out of 10 children, and in 4 cases they induced a typical vertiginous attack instead of headache. In addition, several children had a positive family history for migraine, headache was frequently associated with the crisis and other signs of a ‘periodic syndrome’ (motion sickness, cyclic vomiting, abdominal pain) were present, unrelated to vertiginous attacks. During the follow-up period, some children responded positively to migraine treatment. BPV, like paroxysmal torticollis in infancy and the signs of the periodic syndrome, can be considered a migraine equivalent or a migraine precursor and could be due to the same vascular and/or biochemical mechanisms responsible for the migraine. In children, for anatomical or developmental reasons, these mechanisms could selectively affect parts of the brain stem, including the vestibular nuclei and vestibulocerebellar pathways.

“…Lapin and Golden (38) observed 30 cases of basilar artery migraine in children in which 48% had vertigo and 86% had a positive family history of migrainous headache. Vasospasm occurs in some intracranial vessels with migraine, but there is controversy regarding its role in producing vestibular symptoms (39). Vestibular symptoms associated with migraine include imbalance and motion intolerance occurring with headache, rather than a preceding aura, and abnormal central processing of vestibular input rather than vasospasm (although damage can be great with extensive, severe ischemia).…”

“…O início dos sintomas acontece entre as idades de 1-5 anos, e meninos e meninas são igualmente afetados 111 . A freqüência usual das crises geralmente é baixa, de uma a três por mês, mas em alguns casos foram relatadas várias crises por dia 20,112 .…”

Section: Vertigem Paroxísticaunclassified

“…Os pacientes freqüentemente seguram-se em algo (geralmente móveis ou alguém) no início do evento ou deitam-se no chão, recusando-se a se mover enquanto os sintomas durarem 112 . Na maioria dos casos, os pacientes apresentam exames de rotina negativos, mas anormalidades na função do ouvido interno/labirintina foram relatadas 111 .…”

ResumoObjetivo: este artigo tem como objetivo discutir um dos principais problemas com os quais um pediatra geral tem que lidar no campo da neurologia infantil, que são os distúrbios paroxísticos não-epilépticos. Estes episódios também são uma causa freqüente de consultas aos neuropediatras e de internação em unidades de monitorização por vídeo-eletrencefalograma.Fontes dos dados: revisão da literatura sobre o assunto na Medline. Vários compêndios de neurologia pediátrica também foram usados, por conterem informações importantes sobre o assunto.Síntese dos dados: muitas das entidades discutidas neste artigo são freqüentes na população pediátrica, como, por exemplo, a síncope, as crises de perda do choro, e os movimentos patológicos associados ao refluxo gastroesofágico. Outras entidades são mais raras, como as distonias paroxísticas e a distonia com flutuação diurna.Conclusões: o conhecimento básico das várias síndromes associadas com distúrbios paroxísticos não-epilépticos é extremamente importante para o pediatra geral, porque pode evitar exames desnecessários e o diagnóstico errôneo de epilepsia, expondo as crianças às medicações que não vão melhorar o quadro clínico, e que podem causar efeitos colaterais.J Pediatr (Rio J) 2002; 78 (Supl.1): S73-S88: epilepsia, convulsão, distúrbios paroxísticos não-epilépticos, síncope, distúrbios do movimento, tetania, hiperecplexia, vertigem. AbstractObjective: this article aims at reviewing one of the most important problems faced by pediatricians in the field of child neurology. The paroxystic non-epileptic events are also a frequent reason for pediatric neurology consultations and admission for diagnostic videoelectroencephalogram monitoring.Sources: literature review on the subject was perform on Medline, data were also collected from the main Pediatric Neurology Textbooks, which were found to be an important and unique source of information on the subject.
