  1. 906-4 Multiple Sclerosis

  2. Eye Movements Transient spontaneous primary position upbeat nystagmus with lid nystagmus Rapid bursts of horizontal square wave oscillations opening her eyes to fix on a target. Horizontal gaze evoked rotary (torsional) nystagmus (Rotation of the globe is best seen by observing conjunctival blood vessels).

  3. Eye Movements Gaze evoked unsustained upbeat nystagmus Saccadic pursuit except on downgaze SaccadicDysmetria Hypermetria left gaze to center.

  5. Upbeat Nystagmus Localizes to the Caudal Medulla with lesion affecting the Perihypoglossal group of nuclei including nucleus intercalatus nucleus of Roller nucleus of pararaphales

  6. Upbeat Nystagmus More rostral brainstem lesions may interrupt the ventral tegmental tract containing projections from the vestibular nuclei that receive inputs from the anterior semicircular canal or Involve the brachuim conjunctivum in the rostral pons and Medulla.

  9. Neuroimaging Figure 1 Series of sagittal and axial FLAIR scans show classical calloseptal and deep periventricular foci of increased signal intensity surrounding cavatating areas in this patient with long standing MS
