Pediatric Ménière's disease poses unique challenges in clinical diagnosis and management, with its incidence showing an upward trend in recent years. The etiology of the condition is complex, and affected children often face communication difficulties. Compounded by a lack of targeted research, the disease significantly impacts learning, daily life, and physical development, making diagnosis and differential diagnosis particularly difficult.This article provides a systematic review of the pathogenesis, current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and future directions for Ménière's disease in children. It focuses on epidemiological characteristics, etiological hypotheses, diagnostic criteria and auxiliary examinations, key differential diagnoses, and treatment strategies, aiming to to serve as a reference for clinical practice and scientific research.
