Advances in Diagnostics in Pediatric Vestibular Assessment

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Which diagnostic tool is sensitive for vestibular deficit detection in children with sensorineural hearing loss as young as 6 months? vHIT Rotatory chair test cVEMP Dynamic Visual Acuity Word
2. What distinguishes vestibular diagnostic procedures suitable for pediatric populations from those for adults? Pediatric procedures are less accurate. Pediatric procedures consider developmental reflexes and age-appropriate tests. Adult procedures are faster to perform. Pediatric procedures do not require specialized equipment.
3. Which of the following is true about the application of the video head impulse test (vHIT) in pediatric vestibular assessment? It is only useful for children over 12 months. It can measure all 6 canals and has norms available for young children. It is less sensitive than the caloric test. It cannot be performed on children under 1 year.
4. What is the significance of vestibular sensory epithelium mapping in assessing vestibular disorders? It helps in identifying only the genetic aspects of vestibular disorders. It is primarily used to assess adult patients. It allows for frequency-specific information to aid in customized rehabilitation. It is a dated technique with no current clinical value.
5. Which test is indicated for high-frequency functional angular VOR assessment in canals and shows a good correlation with the video head impulse test? Caloric test Scleral search coil Functional head impulse test (fHIT) Mastoid vibration test
