Vertigo is a common symptom encountered by neurologists in clinical practice. Position-dependent vertigo can occur at the onset of autoimmune encephalitis, often being misinterpreted as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). This study describes a clinical case of a patient with autoimmune encephalitis associated with GAD65 antibodies, who initially presented with systemic positional vertigo.

Overlooked Carbamazepine Toxicity: A Diagnostic Pitfall in an Elderly Patient With Dizziness.

Dizziness is a common chief complaint that often poses a diagnostic challenge. A 79-year-old man was initially misdiagnosed with peripheral vertigo based on normal neuroimaging but later developed altered consciousness and involuntary limb movements, ultimately revealing carbamazepine (CBZ) toxicity. This case highlights a critical diagnostic pitfall: prematurely attributing dizziness to peripheral vertigo without considering drug-induced syndromes.

The calcium- and integrin-binding protein (CIB) family, comprising four evolutionarily conserved members (CIB1, CIB2, CIB3, and CIB4), is characterized by canonical EF-hand motifs. The functions of CIBs in the inner ear have been investigated, although further research is still necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of them. Among the CIB family members, CIB2 is essential for auditory function.
