Rotational Vertebral Artery Occlusion Syndrome with Vertigo Due to "Labyrinthine Excitation" Neurol 54:1376-1379, Strupp,M.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Leftward head rotations in a patient with a rotational vertebral artery occlusion syndrome elicited recurrent uniform attacks of severe rotatory vertigo and tinnitus in the right ear. These attacks were accompanied by a mixed clockwise to rsional downbeat nystagmus with a horizontal component toward the right. A transient ischemia of the right labyrinth probably induced the attacks and led to a combined transient excitation of the right anterior and horizontal e=semicircular canals as well as the cochlea.
