Rotatory Vertigo Caused by a Small Hemorrhage in the Superior Temporal Gyrus.

Rotatory Vertigo Caused by a Small Hemorrhage in the Superior Temporal Gyrus. Intern Med. 2020 Aug 04;: Authors: Araki K, Takeuchi R, Katada F, Fukutake T Abstract Rotatory vertigo is known to have not only peripheral causes, e.g., Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, but also central causes, e.g., stroke, hemorrhage, and tumor. In most cases, central rotatory vertigo is caused by a lesion in the brainstem or cerebellum, but rare cases with a cerebral lesion have also been reported. We herin describe a unique case with acute rotatory vertigo following a small hemorrhage in the left superior temporal gyrus, which probably led to a dysfunction of the visual-vestibular system.
