Abstract
The results of a series of experiments on a 22 yr. old male patient who had been diagnosed " . . . (a) Meningitis, acute, due to mycobacterium tuberculosis with partial palsy of the obducens nerve: (b) paralysis of VIII cranial nerve, auditory and vestibular branches, secondary to streptomycin therapy" were reported. Results indicate "that paralysis of the auditory-vestibular nerve produces reduced precision of judgment of the postural vertical and absence of adaptation to postural inclination; increased error of judgment of the visual vertical from positions of postural tilt and in the direction of the Aubert effect, and reduced nystagmus and oculogyral effects."
