Subjective visual vertical and horizontal abnormalities in a patient with lateral medullary syndrome-a case report.
Iranian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology 2015 January
INTRODUCTION: Evaluation of persistent vertigo in post infarct patients is very important as the management depends on whether the cause is purely of central origin or due to associated vestibular affliction.
CASE REPORT: A patient with left sided dorsolateral medullary syndrome and persistent vestibular symptoms was evaluated. Vestibular test battery showed abnormal smooth pursuit, bilateral hyperactive caloric responses, and abnormal dynamic subjective visual vertical and dynamic subjective visual horizontal tests.
CONCLUSION: Dorsolateral medullary infarctions (Wallenberg's syndrome) typically cause a central vestibular tonus imbalance in the roll plane with ipsilateral deviations of perceived vertical orientation. The SVV and SVH tests may have a role in localizing the pathology in a patient with lateral medullary syndrome.
