Introduction: The vestibular-evoked myogenic potential is used as a complementary test in neurotological examination. It verifies the integrity of vestibular function through a muscular response originated from an acoustic stimulation which activates the saccular macula. It is estimated that vertigo accounts for 1% of outpatient neuropediatric consultations, and it is also present in 13% of children referred for audiological evaluation. Normal standards in adults have been established, however, there are few published data on the normal responses in children.
