Vestibular nystagmus vs cerebeller nystagmus? what's the difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The origin of it: Vestibular nystagmus is caused by a disturbance in the vestibular system of the inner ear. Cerebellar nystagmus is caused by a disturbance in the cerebullum of the brain. They have very different etiologies, with cerebellar tending to be more ominous.
