 Abstract
 PDF
- Vestibular neuritis is characterized by rapid onset of vertigo, nausea and vomiting
without neurological symptoms or signs, but central vestibular lesions can cause
similar symptoms and signs. A 66-year-old woman previously diagnosed with
ovarian cancer initially presented with vertigo. The patient had typical symptoms
and signs of vestibular neuritis. As time proceeded, the patient presented with
bilateral catch-up saccade and the symptoms and signs of cerebellar dysfunction.
Magnetic resonance image and computed tomography scan showed brain metastasis
surrounded by edematous lesion. We report an ovarian cancer patient with
metastasis mimicking vestibular neuritis with a review of related literature.
