Abstract
- Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a common presentation to the Otorhinolaryngology clinic. Besides hearing impairment, recent evidence shows that approximately 30% of these children have some degree of vestibular and balance impairment. To assess the presence of vestibular dysfunction among children with OME. Children between 4 and 17, with and without OME, underwent vestibular assessment using video head impulse test (VHIT), subjective visual subjective (SVV), and single leg raising test (SLS). Data were recorded and analysed. 24 OME children were included with male predominance. No statistical significance was found between the VOR gain (p > 0.05), SVV (p = 0.056) and SLS (p = 0.06). Simple linear regression analysis showed that age and gender are potential factors for VOR gain. Our study found that children with OME have normal vestibular function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
