She was examined twice by 3-D video-oculography (VOG) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET on and off treatment with 4-aminopyridine (4-AMP), a potassium channel blocker known to significantly improve DBN [1]. Careful neurological, neuro-physiological (electro-oculography with caloric testing, blink- and masseter reflexes), and neuro-ortho…
