Epileptic periodic alternating nystagmus.
A patient developed periodic alternating nystagmus, periodic alternating gaze deviation, and periodic alternating head rotation as a manifestation of a seizure. This occurred as he awakened after hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Seizures should be added to the list of differential diagnoses of periodic alternating nystagmus.
