Abstract：The incidence of balance and vestibular function impairment in children is high,potentially affecting physical and mental development and normal life and learning,in addition to hearing and balance,without early inter-vention.The lack of accurate description of their symptoms and short attention span in children mandate a safe and ef-fective vestibular test for vestibular function assessment.Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials(VEMP)is a function-al evaluation method,which mainly reflects the functions of the utricle and superior vestibular nerve pathways as well as the saccule and inferior vestibular nerve pathways.This simple,safe and effective test is suitable for vestibular func-tion evaluation in children.This article mainly reviews the methods and clinical applications of VEMP in children aged 0-14 years.
