ABSTRACT

Vertigo may accompany in an epileptic seizure has long been known. There are two types of seizure which accompany vertigo, one is vestibular seizure that may occur as a prelude to or as a part of seizure induced by the discharge from neurons within the cortical projection zone of labyrinth and the other is vestibulogenic seizure that is evoked by the stimulation of peripheral vestibular receptor which induce abnormal activity(seizure discharge) in the reticular nuclei of the brain stem.

Recently, authors have experienced a case of vestibulogenic seizure in 24 years old female complaining vertigo followed by epileptic seizure as tonic-clonic convulsion, so report on the case with some review of literatures.
