Abstract

Acute upside down reversal of vision in vertebrobasilar ischaemiaAcute upside down reversal of vision is an uncommon and little known phenomenon consisting of transient complete 180 degree inversion of the visual image.The pathogenesis and the anatomical sites of this dys- function are unknown.Lesions involving cortical areas, mainly the parieto-occipital region, or the vestibulocerebellar system have occasionally been documented. - We observed two patients who experienced this bizarre visual illusion, both revealing features of vertebrobasilar ischaemia.
