- Abstract
The article presents a case wherein a 20-year-old female kitchen worker had a sudden onset right neck pain radiating to occipital region, after turning her head to the left whilst in bed and then awoke with vertigo, nausea and vertical diplopia. Neurological examination based on a triad of ocular signs, the saccadic lateropulsion, Horner's syndrome and horizontal-torsional jerk nystagmus, confirmed that the patient has an unsteady, wide-based ataxic gait.
