Abstract
• A 43-year-old hypertensive patient presented with serve vertigo of abrupt onset. The initial neurological signs were subtle vertical gaze paralysis and unsteady gait. The computed tomographic scan revealed a left-sided thalamic hemorrhage. It is explained that the vertigo is due to stimulation of the vestibulo-ocular connections within the diencephalic-mesencephalic junction.
