ABSTRACT |
Periodic alternating nystagmus (PAN) is characterized by a periodical reversal
in the direction of the nystagmus. Acquired PAN is caused by lesions of the
inferior cerebellar vermis, causing disinhibition of the velocity storage mechanism,
which is mediated by the vestibular nuclei. An eighty-year-old woman with
abscess in midline cerebellum experienced dizziness and imbalance. We observed
short period PAN with 7?8 seconds. |
