Abstract
Positional vertigo and nystagmus without associated
neurological symptoms and signs are characteristic
features of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Although positional nystagmus may occur with caudal cerebellar
infarction including the nodulus, positional nystagmus
is usually associated with other neurological signs such
as spontaneous or gaze-evoked nystagmus, perverted headshaking
nystagmus, cerebellar dysmetria, or severe gait
ataxia with falling. We present a patient with nodular
infarction who had positional vertigo with nystagmus as a
sole manifestation. Video-oculography showed apogeotropic
positional horizontal nystagmus during head turning
while supine, which was consistent with apogeotropic BPPV
involving the horizontal canal. MRI disclosed acute infarct
in the nodulus. Nodulus infarction should be considered in a
patient with positional nystagmus, especially when the presenting
symptoms and signs are consistent with BPPV
involving the horizontal canal.
