Two types of oscillopsia in a patient with idiopathic vestibulopathy

J Neuroophthalmol. 1997 Jun;17(2):92-4.

Abstract

A patient with an idiopathic bilateral vestibulopathy described two types of oscillopsia, one induced by head movement, the other induced by changing pressure in the right external auditory canal. This is the first report of both types of oscillopsia occurring in the same individual and illustrates their different mechanisms and symptomatology.
