Role of bedside video-oculography in selecting neuroimaging in patients with acute vertigo and ataxia posterior fossa mass lesions
The acute vestibular syndrome ((AVS) is the sudden onset of continuous vertigo, nausea, vomiting and head motion intolerance [1]. The most common peripheral cause is a vestibular neuritis [2], and the most frequent central lesion associated with an AVS is an ischemic stroke in about 10 to 15% of cases [3 –5]; less frequently demyelinating plaques (multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO)) [6], and inflammatory lesions associated with infectious and paraneoplastic disorders may be responsible.

N-type calcium channel antibody-mediated paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis: A diagnostic challenge
Conclusion: This case highlights limbic encephalitis as an atypical presentation of neuroendocrine cancer. It also illustrates how treatment of the underlying cancer can reverse limbic encephalitis and Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome in a neuroendocrine carcinoma patient even before the paraneoplastic panel becomes negative.
