Abstract
- Nystagmus, characterized by involuntary eye movements, can arise from several causes, with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo being the most prevalent. Additionally, central lesions such as tumors may also induce nystagmus. This case report describes the amelioration of vertical nystagmus in a patient with advanced glioma after treatment with the GABAergic drug baclofen.
