Optokinetic training for central anystagmus. A case report.
A good result was obtained by optokinetic training in a patient with complaints of dizziness and instability, only presenting a central nystagmus without further neurological disturbances. This case illustrates that central vestibular disturbances may occur separately without further neurological context; it emphasizes the importance of a thorough ENG investigation in every case presenting some problems of dizziness and/or instability and it suggests the possibility of curing some central cases by training therapy.
