"This young woman has a pontine glioma and
asymmetric gaze paretic nystagmus that is larger in right gaze. She
also has rebound nystagmus. In left gaze the nystagmus gradually
decreases and becomes downbeating. On return to center gaze, a
transient right beating rebound nystagmus is present. Gaze paretic
nystagmus is larger in amplitude in right gaze. On prolonged right
gaze, again, a downbeating nystagmus develops. rebound nystagmus will
also be present on return to center gaze. The transient nystagmus
will be beating toward the left. Rebound nystagmus is associated with
damage to the cerebellum"
