Abstract
Cochleo-labyrinthopathy (CL) is an affection that in-volves cochlea and vestibular system. It occurs with the association of auditory symptoms (sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus), vestibular symptoms (objective vertigo, unidirectional horizontal-rotary nystagmus and static or dynamic balance disorders) and neurovegetative signs (nausea, vomiting, pallor, sweating). The diagnosis may be difficult in paediatric age since the child is unable to clearly express their discomfort and symptoms. Multiple causes have been recognized but, in acute cases, infection is the most frequent etiological agent. The paper de-scribes a case of CL due to Herpes Virus 1-2 infection responsive to acyclovir and reports a flow-chart for the diagnostic approach to the vertiginous syndromes in children.
