Abstract
A patient is reported on with isolated upbeating nystagmus with a linear slow phase in whom a solitary lesion, probably inflammatory, was detected radiologically in the dorsal paramedian caudal medulla, encompassing the most caudal of the perihypoglossal nuclei, the nucleus intercalatus of Staderini. The conjunction of a vestibular pattern of nystagmus with this focal lesion runs contrary to a previous suggestion that the nucleus intercalatus may act as a neural integrator for vertical conjugate eye movements.Entities:
