N2 - As more families travel to mountainous destinations, clinicians are frequently asked for advice regarding children at altitude. We briefly review the principles of altitude illness in children, offer a management plan for the clinician, and highlight the gaps in current evidence. Planning for ascent, altitude illness management, and diagnostic follow-up are discussed.
