63
Q

horizontal or rotatory nystagmus with fast phase always in the direction opposite the head tilt

patient may have concomitant ipsilateral facial nerve paresis or paralysis or horner syndrome

because of the lcose association of cranial nerves 8 and 7 in the petrosal bone and the sympathetic nervous system in the tympanic bulla

A

65
Q

caused by lesions in the cerebellar peduncles, cerebellar medulla, or flocculonodular lobes of the cerebellum
