Vestibular and oculomotor disturbances in patients with multiple sclerosis
- Neuro-otologické centrum, Neurologická klinika 2. LF UK a FN Motol, Praha
More than three quarters of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) report a history of balance disorders and multiple sclerosis is
considered to be the second leading cause of central vertigo. Specific oculomotor syndromes are a typical feature in MS. The
knowledge of the individual types of impairments is important for the understanding of the clinical presentation of multiple
sclerosis. Some of these impairments are even more specific for diagnosing brain stem lesions than magnetic resonance imaging.
The paper presents a review of the most typical vestibular and oculomotor syndromes in patients with demyelinating disease.
Keywords: vertigo, multiple sclerosis, oculomotor abnormalities, BPPV, peripheral vestibular syndrome, central vestibular syndrome
