Ipsilateral Saccade Hypometria and Contralateral Saccadic Pursuit in a Focal Brainstem Lesion: a Rare Oculomotor Pattern

This reported case emphasizes the crucial role of careful bedside oculomotor examination in order to discriminate between peripheral and central vestibular syndromes in the diagnosis of sudden vertigo. Moreover, it reveals an exceptional pattern of oculomotor impairments that may allow for the precise localization of the trajectory of cerebellar saccadic afferent pathways in the depth of the brachium pontis.
