Gaze-evoked and rebound nystagmus in a case of migrainous vertigo

J Neuroophthalmol. 2009 Mar;29(1):26-8. doi: 10.1097/WNO.0b013e318198c910.

Abstract

A patient with migrainous vertigo showed pronounced gaze-evoked and rebound nystagmus during an attack. These findings, which have not been previously documented, suggest that migrainous vertigo is based on central vestibular dysfunction.
