Case Report and Scoping Review of Central Stroke Presenting as Acute Vestibular Syndrome

33 studies meeting inclusion criteria were identified from a literature review of 112 full-text articles, covering 79 patients with central-origin nystagmus. The dataset is a PDF document authored by Francesca Brigato, last updated in April 2026. It discusses diagnostic challenges for posterior inferior cerebellar artery strokes presenting with acute vestibular symptoms.

Use Cases

• Training diagnostic models to differentiate central from peripheral vestibular disorders based on case descriptions.
• Analyzing lesion localization patterns in cerebellar strokes based on MRI findings mentioned in the review.
• Supporting systematic review methodologies for pseudo-vestibular neuritis based on the described search strategy.
• Studying the prevalence of specific symptoms like spontaneous nystagmus in stroke patients based on the aggregated patient data.

Strengths

• Includes data from a systematic search of six major medical databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane).
• Aggregates findings from 33 studies and 79 patient cases, providing a consolidated view.
• Clear focus on a specific diagnostic challenge (PICA strokes mimicking peripheral disorders).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 230.1 KB file size indicates a limited scope, likely containing the review document rather than a large raw dataset.
