Or, have the patient focus on their outstretched thumbnail (or other small fixation target), while following the slowly moving object horizon...Smooth Pursuit
288 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...Upbeat Nystagmus; Jerk Nystagmus; Medullar OMS
289 Superior Canal Dehiscence𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This is a 60-yo-man who complained of autophony (eg, hearing his own heartbeat, noting that his own voice sounded too loud) and dizziness triggered with loud noises and straining at times. With pinched-nose Valsalva maneu...Nystagmus; Superior Canal Dehiscence; Valsalva
