초록
Pseudo-vestibular neuritis is a central pathology of acute vestibular syndrome, characterized by unidirectional nystagmus mimicking acute peripheral vestibulophaty. We report a 39-year-old female patient who developed cerebellar infarction with isolated vertigo, spontaneous nystagmus, a positive head thrust test, and unilateral canal paresis in the contralesional side. The patient had no vascular risk factors. A diffusion-weighted image of the brain showed infarction of medial branch of posterior inferior and superior cerebellar artery on the left side. A magnetic resonance angiography of neck disclosed a wide range of diffused severe stenosis and narrowing of right and left vertebral arteries, respectively. This case suggests the possibility of vestibular ischemia masking the central pathology in isolated vertigo. Korean J Otorhinolaryngol-Head Neck Surg 2014;57(8):552-5
