Abstract: Vertigo is a subjective feeling of rotation of a space or object, ie a disorder of orientation in space. Vertigo usually starts suddenly, lasts for a short time, does not have to be provoked by the position of the head, and is sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting. It occurs more often while a child is playing, rocking, when he is tired or has a fever. The child may be frightened, pale, crying, clinging to surrounding objects so as not to fall or separate from the parent. Sometimes an unusual position of the head is noticed, a possible short-term tilting of the head, which can be accompanied by vomiting, sweating, anxiety and fear.
