Abstract:
We report the clinical features in one patients with episodic positional vertigo and apogeotropic direction changing horizontal positional nystagmus that does not fatigue, beating to the right with the head turned to the left and beating to the left with the head turned to the right. This syndrome probably represents a horizontal semicircular canal variant of benign positional vertigo. Free-floating debris and Cupula attached debris in one horizontal semicircular canal may explain many of the clinical and oculographic findings.
