[Central positional vertigo due to cerebellar nodular infarction].
Nodular infarctions are a rare cause of vertigo and may imitate vestibular neuritis. We report on two patients with acute positional vertigo due to nodular infarction, a clinical presentation is not reported so far. High-resolution MR imaging using thin slices is required to identify isolated nodular infarctions.
