Pursuit and suppression of the vestibulo-ocular reflex were sa...Image/MovingImage
233 Smooth Pursuit𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: A pursuit deficit in one direction suggests an ipsilesional localization, but beware of a superimposed spontaneous nystagmus; a pursuit deficit in all directions is commonly seen with cerebellar lesions. 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿�...Image/MovingImage
234 Smooth PursuitSmooth pursuit: instruct the patient to hold their head steady, fix their eyes on the camera and slowly move the camera in the horizontal and vertical planes. Or, have the patient focus on their outstretched thumbnail (or other small fixation target), while following the slowly moving object horizon...Image/MovingImage

236 Spontaneous Torsional Nystagmus and Ocular Tilt Reaction𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This is a 70-year-old man who experienced "a delay in focusing" with "some twisting movement" that began about 18 months prior to this video with mild progression over days or weeks. For the same period of time, he experi...Image/MovingImage
237 Spontaneous Upbeat Nystagmus in Acute Wernicke's Encephalopathy𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This is a 40-year-old woman presenting with imbalance, confusion and oscillopsia. Exam demonstrated upbeat nystagmus (UBN) in primary gaze that remained UB in all directions of gaze, with a slight torsional component (top...Image/MovingImage
238 Square Wave Jerks and Macrosaccadic Oscillations in a Patient with a Cerebellar TumorThis is a 40-year-old man who developed severe headaches, confusion, and gait imbalance which led to neuroimaging which demonstrated a midline cerebellar mass with compression of the fourth ventricle and obstructive hydrocephalus. He underwent a suboccipital craniectomy for resection of the mass, an...Image/MovingImage
239 Square Wave Maneuver for Apogeotropic Horizontal Canal BPPV (Video)The square wave maneuver is designed to treat individuals with horizontal canal cupulolithaisis and is commonly used when individuals have cervical restrictions and the affected side is not well identified at baseline. 1. The patient begins in the supine position with the head 20 to 30 degrees above...Image/MovingImage

244 Supine Head-Hanging Test (Video)The supine head-hanging test is more sensitive for AC-BPPV, but it does not differentiate laterality, as both canals are stimulated at the same time [1-3]. When the individual returns to a seated position, the otoconia should hypothetically move closer to the utricle, which continues their ampullofu...Image/MovingImage
245 Supine Roll TestSupine roll test: used to test for horizontal canal (HC) BPPV. While horizontal nystagmus due to HC-BPPV is often seen with DH, the roll test will usually maximize nystagmus and vertigo with the HC variant. The patient can be guided through a self-administered supine roll test while lying on the flo...Image/MovingImage
246 Supine Roll Test/Pagnini-McClure Test (Video)The supine roll test or the Pagnini-McClure Test is used to assess for horizontal canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

247 Test of Latency (Video)The Test of Latency is used to identify which side is involved for patients with horizontal canal BPPV and is used in conjunction with the Supine Roll Test. For canalithiasis, lateralization is considered the side with a shorter latency time. For cupulolithasis, lateralization is considered the side...Image/MovingImage
