Keywords: | Apogeotrophic type of direction-changing positional nystagmus; Central nervous system lymphoma; Primary intraocular lymphoma; Vertigo | Issue Date: | 2002 | Journal Volume: | 14 | Journal Issue: | 2 | Start page/Pages: | 109-112 | Source: | Tzu Chi Medical Journal | Abstract: | Primary intraocular lymphoma, a rare disease, is frequently associated with central nervous system involvement, but it rarely presents with inner ear symptoms. This paper reports a 70-year-old woman with primary intraocular lymphoma who experienced persistent vertigo, bilateral hearing loss, left hemiparesis and direction-changing positional nystagmus three months after irradiation. An MRI scan depicted a space-occupying lesion in the left middle cerebellar peduncle and cytologic study of the cerebrospinal fluid disclosed lymphoma cells. Therefore, when a lymphoma patient experiences persistent vertigo, hearing loss, and central type nystagmus, an MRI and cerebrospinal fluid cytologic examinations should be performed to exclude the possibility of CNS involvement. |
