ABSTRACT
Dapsone is an agent commonly used to treat leprosy and its most common adverse effect is a hemolytic anemia. We present a patient who showed transient downbeat, bilateral horizontal gaze-evoked nystagmus (GEN), and perverted head-shaking nystagmus after taking a large dose of dapsone. These oculomotor abnormalities are assumed to be a reversible vestibulocerebellar dysfunction caused by over-dose of dapsone.
