Monocular rotary nystagmus.
A patient with transient monocular rotary-vertical nystagmus demonstrated decreased gain of vertical pursuit and normal vestibulo-ocular reflex on electrooculogram. A supranuclear brain stem lesion, resulting in lack of monocular inhibition of oculomotor neurons, is postulated on the basis of these findings.
