Abstract:

Mal de Debarquement syndrome (MdDS), also known as disembarkment syndrome, is a benign neurological condition characterized by a feeling of rocking, bobbing, or swaying, usually presenting after an individual has been exposed to passive motion as from being on a cruise, long drive, turbulent air travel, or train. Clinical awareness about this condition is limited, as is research; thus, many patients go undiagnosed. In this case report, the authors describe a case of a severe headache as a major presenting symptom of MdDS in a 46-year-old woman who eventually attained full resolution of symptoms. This report aims to highlight this unique presentation and make practitioners more aware of the cardinal clinical features, to assist in prompt diagnosis of this disorder.
