Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a common presentation to the Otorhinolaryngology clinic. Besides hearing impairment, recent evidence shows that approximately 30% of these children have some degree of vestibular and balance impairment. To assess the presence of vestibular dysfunction among children with OME. Children between 4 and 17, with and without OME, underwent vestibular assessment using video head impulse test (VHIT), subjective visual subjective (SVV), and single leg raising test (SLS). Data were recorded and analysed. 24 OME children were included with male predominance. No statistical significance was found between the VOR gain ( > 0.05), SVV ( = 0.056) and SLS ( = 0.06). Simple linear regression analysis showed that age and gender are potential factors for VOR gain. Our study found that children with OME have normal vestibular function.
分泌性中耳炎（OME）是耳鼻咽喉科门诊的常见病症。除听力障碍外，最近的证据表明，这些儿童中约30%有一定程度的前庭和平衡功能障碍。为评估OME患儿前庭功能障碍的情况。4至17岁的有或无OME的儿童接受了视频头脉冲测试（VHIT）、主观视觉垂直（SVV）和单腿抬高测试（SLS）的前庭评估。记录并分析数据。纳入了24名OME患儿，以男性为主。在视眼动增益（>0.05）、SVV（=0.056）和SLS（=0.06）之间未发现统计学意义。简单线性回归分析表明，年龄和性别是视眼动增益的潜在因素。我们的研究发现，OME患儿的前庭功能正常。
