title: [The woman, who saw her husband approach upside down: disorder of spatial orientation after removal of an acoustic neuroma].
abstract: A 60-year-old woman experienced a severe spatial disorientation after sudden interruption of the right vestibulocochlear nerve (on removal of an acustic neurinoma). She saw her husband approaching to her bed upside-down. This "reversal of vision metamorphopsia" resolved after a few hours.
