Cover Story: One of the main characteristics that define a nystagmus as peripheral is the ability of visual fixation to suppress or significantly reduce its intensity. We were interested in investigating whether this was the case for skull vibration-induced nystagmus in patients with peripheral vestibulopathy. As expected, the findings were positive. However, two groups of patients emerged: in one, the suppression was complete, with no nystagmus recorded while the subject was fixating on an object in front of them; in the other, there was a reduction in the intensity of the nystagmus by up to 40%, an effect that remained clearly visible. Therefore, this test can be used during bedside assessments to confirm or, along with other findings, assist in the localization of vestibular damage. View this paper
