Isolated vestibular nucleus infarction mimicking acute peripheral vestibulopathy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although several articles have been published on central vestibular syndrome mimicking acute peripheral vestibulopathy (ie, pseudo-acute peripheral vestibulopathy), there are no reports of a brainstem infarct that selectively involves the vestibular nucleus and causes isolated vertigo. SUMMARY OF CASE We report a patient with an isolated vestibular nucleus infarction wh...
متن کاملAbout the pathophysiology of acute unilateral vestibular deficit - vestibular neuritis (VN) or peripheral vestibulopathy (PVP)?
OBJECTIVE To determine whether patients with acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy (PVP), often called "vestibular neuritis/neuronitis or neuropathy" (VN) have a vestibular lesion pattern consistent with the distribution of the neurological afferents. BACKGROUND Much is known about the clinical nature of PVP, however less so about its etiology and pathogenesis. Due to the frequency with ...
متن کاملVestibular rehabilitation in acute central vestibulopathy: a randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of two different rehabilitation programs in acute central vestibulopathy secondary to posterior circulation stroke. METHOD A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on 25 patients with posterior circulation stroke. Patients were instructed in routine balance and mobility exercises during the acute hospitalization period. At discharge, patient...
متن کاملPontine lesions mimicking acute peripheral vestibulopathy.
OBJECTIVES Clinical signs of acute peripheral vestibulopathy (APV) were repeatedly reported with pontine lesions. The clinical relevance of such a mechanism is not known, as most studies were biased by patients with additional clinical signs ofbrainstem dysfunction. METHODS Masseter reflex (MassR), blink reflex (BlinkR), brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs), and DC electro-oculography...
متن کاملVestibular function in severe bilateral vestibulopathy.
OBJECTIVES To assess residual vestibular function in patients with severe bilateral vestibulopathy comparing low frequency sinusoidal rotation with the novel technique of random, high acceleration rotation of the whole body. METHODS Eye movements were recorded by electro-oculography in darkness during passive, whole body sinusoidal yaw rotations at frequencies between 0.05 and 1.6 Hz in four ...
