[New aspects of differential vertigo diagnosis in childhood].
Eight cases of vertigo in childhood are reported. Four of them suffered from benign paroxysmal vertigo, and the other four from atypical migraine. History of a head injury and attacks of vertigo lasting only a few seconds are typical of benign paroxysmal vertigo. These children are older than 4 years and the vertigo is of peripheral origin. Vertigo due to atypical migraine is frequent in young children up to 4 years of age, shows a longer duration of vertigo (more than 1 min) and is of central origin.
