Introducci?n y objetivo: La prueba del impulso cef?lico , descrita en 1988 por Curthoys y Halmagyi, tiene como objeto el estudio del reflejo vest?bulo-ocular. Los actuales dispositivos reducen el estr?s de los pacientes al realizar la prueba lo cual es muy importante en ni?os. Objetivo de este estudio es determinar si los valores de normalidad del vHIT son los mismos en el adulto que en los ni?os. M?todo: Se realiza un estudio prospectivo en 50 ni?os que acuden a consultas de ORL del Hospital Universitario Santa Mar?a de Lleida entre Enero y Junio de 2017. Se seleccionan ni?os que acuden a consulta de ORL por otras causas no relacionadas con trastornos del equilibrio de edades entre 5 y 12 a?os. Resultados: Los resultados muestran una ganancia media en canales semicirculares horizontales de 0,9 con una desviaci?n standard de 0,08. Discusi?n: Los resultados obtenidos en nuestro estudio en ni?os son similares a los obtenidos en la poblaci?n en general. Los estudios previos se consideran valores de normalidad las ganancias de 0,87 con una desviaci?n standard de 0,10 y estableciendo unos valores patol?gicos menores de 0,8.El vHIT es una herramienta de evaluaci?n f?cil y sensible para evaluar la funci?n vestibular en ni?os y se debe utilizar como una prueba est?ndar en la evaluaci?n vestibular pedi?trica. Conclusiones: En nuestra opini?n el estudio mediante el vHIT es una prueba relativamente f?cil de realizar en ni?os y que en nuestro estudio los resultados sugieren que los valores de normalidad en ni?os son similares a los de la poblaci?n.
Introduction and objective:The cephalic impulse test, described in 1988 by Curthoys and Halmagyi, aims to study the vestibulo-ocular reflex. The current devices reduce the stress of patients when performing the test which is very important in children. The aim of this study is to determine if the normal values of vHIT are the same in adults as in children. Method: A prospective study was carried out on 50 children who attended ENT?s office at the Santa Maria de Lleida University Hospital between January and June 2017. Children attending ENT?s office were selected for other causes not related to disturbances of balance between the 5-year age and 12 years. Results: The results show an average gain in horizontal semicircular canals of 0.9 with a standard deviation of 0.08. Discussion: The results obtained in our study in children are similar to those obtained in the general population. Previous studies are considered values of normality gains of 0.87 with a standard deviation of 0.10 and establishing pathological values of less than 0.8. The vHIT is an easy and sensitive assessment tool to evaluate vestibular function in children and the vHIT should be used as a standard test in the paediatric vestibular evaluation. Conclusions: In our opinion, the study through the vHIT is a relatively easy test to perform in children and in our study the results suggest that normal values in children are similar to the population.
