Background: Study of vestibular function in children with chronic suppurative otitis media. Material and methods: 139 children in age from 7 to 18 years suffering from different forms of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). Examination methods include study of equilibrium function with simple and sensibilized Romberg's test; coordination finger-to-nose test and pastpointing test, and pneumatic (pressure) test; visual evaluation of spontaneous nystagmus (Frenzel goggles+20 diopters) ad with electronystagmographia (ENG); caloric test. ENG was performed at each study of vestibular function in a patient by early afternoon without administration of drugs during a day or longer. Results: 81 children at stage of acute exacerbation of CSOM complained about "dizziness", but could provide clear definition, and follow-up questions help to clarify that it were sporadical staggering, slight instability, "light in the head", darkening of vision when the body position is changed. These signs where short-termed and disappeared without intervention. At stage of CSOM remission patients periodically reported about the same problems, which allowed diagnosing vegetative dystonia syndrome after vegetative nervous system study. Detailed vestibulogical study performed in 98 patients of elder age group didn't detect significant changes of vestibular function. All analyzed parameters of electronystagmogram were within limits of physiological dispersion of parameters that may vary within interval ±20%. We didn't register vestibular hypo- or hyperfunction in any case. Conclusion: According to the study outcomes specificity of CSOM in children is in the fact that as distinct from adult patients children almost don't have systemic dizziness in cases without intracranial complications.
