Inferior cerebellar peduncular lesion causes a distinct vestibular syndrome

However, a negative head impulse test and directional dissociation between OTR/SVV tilt and body lateropulsion may distinguish lesions involving unilateral ICP at the pontine level from those affecting other vestibular structures.
