Central Positional Nystagmus Can Be the Sole Presentation of Cerebellar Nodulus Infarction.
Neurologist

Department of Neurology, Ege University Medical School, Bornova, Izmir, Turkey.
Objectives: To draw attention to acute positional vertigo and central positional nystagmus (CPN) developing as the sole features of cerebellar nodulus infarction.
Background: The cerebellar nodulus is vascularized by the medial branch of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery, which also supplies the uvula, tonsil, tuber, and pyramid of the vermis, and the inferior part of the cerebellar hemisphere, making isolated cerebellar nodulus infarction extremely rare. CPN occurs after a change in head position with respect to gravity and is caused by pathologies involving the vestibulo-cerebellar pathways.

Hair tourniquet syndrome is a rare condition that can cause ischemia and necrosis secondary to hair fibers constricting a patient's appendages. Typically, the syndrome affects patients aged two to six months. Hair tourniquet syndrome often involves the toes, fingers, or genitalia, and it has been rarely reported to have oropharyngeal manifestations.

Uvular necrosis is a rare post-procedural complication thought to be caused by mechanical compression of the uvula during endotracheal intubation. We described the day-to-day progression of uvular necrosis after right shoulder acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction. We present a case of a 22-year-old male who visited the emergency department after sustaining a right shoulder trauma.
