Vestibular syndromes are less common seen in pediatric practice than in adult pathology. Vestibular testing is not usual in pediatric hospitals. The most usual causes for vertigo in children are usually less investigated. The authors present a rare case of a child with a brainstem tumor presenting concomitant rhinosinusitis symptoms. Vestibular investigation and a thorough history managed to discover the real nature of the clinical signs. Conclusion: vertigo in children needs careful evaluation for precise determination of its cause.
