Nystagmus in Ramsay Hunt syndrome with or without dizziness

ConclusionVarious patterns of nystagmus including direction-fixed and positional direction-changing nystagmus were observed in RHS patients, and inflammation of the vestibular nerve and inner ear end organs may be responsible for the production of nystagmus in these patients. The results support that the evaluation of vestibular function may be necessary even in RHS patients who do not complain of dizziness or vertigo.
