Abstract

Bruns nystagmus is a form of jerk nystagmus that has a localizing value in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors. Hemangioblastomas involving the CPA is rare. A case of a 57-year-old male presented with Bruns nystagmus which led to the discovery of a large CPA hemangioblastoma is described. The nystagmus was compatible with the laterality of the tumor. High quality video of Bruns nystagmus was recorded.

Keywords: Bruns nystagmus; Cerebellopontine angle; Hemangioblastoma; Magnetic resonance imaging.
