A 20-year-old man with bilateral medial medullary infarction showed transition of bowtie and upbeat nystagmus into hemi-seesaw nystagmus. Follow-up MRI revealed near complete resolution of the right medullary lesion. This transition of nystagmus suggests that the upbeat nystagmus was generated by bilateral lesions in the ascending pathways from both anterior semicircular canals (SCC), and that the hemi-seesaw nystagmus was caused by damage to the pathway from the left anterior SCC.
