Fig. 2From: The bucket test differentiates patients with MRI confirmed brainstem/cerebellar lesions from patients having migraine and dizziness aloneTwo cases of unremarkable focal neurological or nystagmus findings but marked SVV deviations. a, b A young man (30–35 years) complaining of dizziness only had equivocal facial numbness and end-gaze nystagmus. However, the bucket test revealed an SVV deviation of 11 degrees to the left; MRI showed a tiny infarct in the left lateral medulla (arrow). c, d An older man (50–55 years) with 10 days of dizziness but no focal neurological signs or nystagmus: His bucket test showed an SVV deviation of 5 degrees to the left; MRI showed a cavernous hemangioma in the dorsal medullaBack to article page
