Epileptic Vertigo: Evidence for Vestibular Representation in Human Frontal Cortex Neurol 55:1906-1908, Kluge,M.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The authors report a 5-year-old boy with episodes of epileptic rotational clockwise vertigo without nystagmus. Video-EEG monitoring showed a left frontocentral onset of epileptic discharges accompanied by complaints of vertigo. MRI showed a small low-grade astrocytoma in the left frontal middle gyrus. After lesionectomy, vertiginous seizures ceased. The patient's vertigo seems to be induced by epileptic discharges in a vestibular representation area within the frontal cortex.
