Physiologic End Point Nystagmus | This is a normal subject with end point nystagmus in lateral gaze. Features that favor physiologic (normal) end point nystagmus (EPN) rather than pathologic gaze-evoked nystagmus include: only present in far lateral gaze (at close to 100% of the normal range of ocular movements); resolves when the v... | Image/MovingImage |

|
Pinched Nose Valsalva | Valsalva (closed glottis or pinched nose): instruct the patient to take a deep breath and ‘bear down' (closed glottis) or take a deep breath and ‘try to pop their ears' (pinched nose). Assess for nystagmus. In superior canal dehiscence, pressure changes may be transmitted to the superior canal, ... | Image/MovingImage |

|
Pontine Hemorrhage Causing Oculopalatal Tremor and Multiple Cranial Neuropathies | This is a 45-yo-woman who had a dorsal pontine cavernoma that bled 2 years prior to this video. Symptoms included diplopia and oscillopsia. On examination, she had left>right facial palsies (upper and lower face from involvement of the nucleus/fascicle - i.e., lower motor neuron palsies) and sixth n... | Image/MovingImage |

Positional Downbeat Nystagmus Mimicking Anterior Canal BPPV | Although positional downbeat nystagmus (pDBN) can indicate the rare anterior canal variant of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, central mimics are common causes of pDBN. pDBN may be seen in multiple system atrophy (MSA), or seen with posterior fossa lesions, with a common example being a stroke ... | Image/MovingImage |
