We describe a 35-year-old man, who suffered a severe intraventricular hemorrhage and was admitted to the intensive care unit of our tertiary clinic. Two weeks after the incident, while in ICU, a neurological examination revealed persistent, undulating, rhythmic, myoclonic tongue movements. The diagnostic evaluation via CT scan, MRI and EEGs elicited a diffuse brainstem lesion as well as multiple corpus callosum lesions as a considerable underlying etiology. This case presentation attempts to update the current investigation of the rare phenomenon of lingual myoclonus.

We present the case of a patient with the symptom of oscillopsia for the past six months. The neurological examination revealed a monocular horizontal pendular nystagmus in the left eye, present in all directions of gaze, while the remainder of neurological examination was normal. MRI brain scan revealed a dolichoectatic basilar artery causing a mild compression to the left part of the pontomedullary junction.
