OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Subjective visual vertical ( @entity6355 ) is a vestibular test commonly used in adults that has not been well studied in @entity1 . In this test, the @entity1 aligns a projected line with the perceived true vertical. Deviation of >2   is usually associated with @entity409 and may also be seen with central @entity394 . The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of @entity6355 in @entity1 . STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, controlled study. METHODS: Thirty-three @entity1 aged 7 to 18 years with (n   =   21) and without (n   =   12) dizziness underwent static @entity6355 . History, exam, rotary chair, and caloric testing were used to categorize subjects with dizziness into groups with peripheral vestibular loss (PVL), benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo (BPPV), central vertigo (CV), and nonvestibular dizziness (NVD). RESULTS: Mean @entity6355 deviation was significantly higher in the peripheral vestibular loss group (n   =   4; 2.1        1.5) compared to BPPV (n   =   5; 0.5        0.3), CV (n   =   7; 0.4        0.3), NVD (n   =   5; 0.6        0.4), and control (n   =   12; 0.7        0.5) groups by one-way analysis of variance (P   =   .002). @entity6355 deviation >2   demonstrated a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 75%, positive predictive value of 100%, and negative predictive value of 97% for PVL. CONCLUSIONS: @entity6355 is a simple, noninvasive test that provides a valuable contribution to the assessment of peripheral vestibular function in @entity1 . LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3b Laryngoscope, 2015.
