Provoked Dizziness from Bow Hunter's Syndrome

A 62-year-old man was experiencing debilitating bouts of dizziness provoked by head rotation until ultimately finding relief with cervical spine fixation. He had a history of coronary artery disease, human immunodeficiency virus, tobacco use disorder, and generalized anxiety, and initially presented to a routine primary care visit with 3 weeks of episodic dizziness. During these dizzy spells, he became unsteady on his feet and typically experienced tinnitus. His symptoms worsened when he turned his head to the left; this was occasionally followed by intense, albeit brief, headaches.
