Jumpy vision during ambulation or when driving on a bumpy road for example is highly suggestive of bilateral vestibular loss, and head impulse testing and evaluation of the VOR are warranted. Listen step of the way had wrenched his lame leg I have watched, heard, waited. Your symptom could be due to pseudotumor cerebri but can also be due to migraine without infacrtion which is also known as persistent migraine aura. Without a vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), there is no mechanism to ensure retinal stability of the world with each head movement, and oscillopsia (illusion of movement of the stationary environment) is the result. Headache, ringing in the ears, double vision, blurring of vision, loss of peripheral vision, sudden vision loss, dimming and blackouts are some of the symptoms. Oscillopsia in these patients is not spontaneous (as it would be with nystagmus). Jumpy vision during ambulation or when driving on a bumpy road for example is highly suggestive of bilateral vestibular loss, and head impulse testing and evaluation of the VOR are warranted. Without a VOR, there is no mechanism to ensure retinal stability of the world with each head movement, and oscillopsia (illusion of movement of the stationary environment) is the result.
