ReviewHow do we diagnose migraine and childhood periodic syndromes?
Migraine remains substantially underdiagnosed and undertreated in the pediatric population. The incidence and prevalence of migraine in the pediatric population is not fully appreciated. ⋯ These criteria are the basis for scientific studies and serve as the foundation for future research and clinical care. In this article, the diagnostic issues related to migraine and childhood periodic syndromes in the IHS 2004 revisions are reviewed.

Neuro-otologic examination is very important in evaluation of balance system. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic, debilitating disease characterized by focal demyelinization that develop throughout of the central nerves system at varying time. Patients with MS presented various complaints and signs, so the aim of the study was the neuro-otologic presentation of multiple findings in patients with MS and comparison with reviewing literature. ⋯ Disturbance in voluntary gaze either in smooth pursuit test (31.3%) and in saccadic test (43.8%) were seen. The multifocal nature of MS explain why this disease are so commonly subject to defect different part of nerve system. Careful neuro-otologic assessment of every patient with MS is necessary to confirm and monitoring the course of disease.
