Abstract

The results of vestibular investigations in a patient with confirmed lateral medullary syndrome are presented. This patient showed a unilateral weakness on caloric testing which has not been reported previously in a patient with lateral medullary syndrome. The case for the possibility of a ‘central’ canal paresis on caloric testing is presented.
