Listing's plane is a construction derived from eye position and reflects gravitational orientation. The cerebellum plays a key role in orienting and integrating sensory input concerning gravity from visual, vestibular and proprioceptive apparatuses. This suggests that the thickness of Listing's plane could serve as a novel parameter for evaluating the accuracy of the constructed gravity-oriented internal model. We report a case with acute cerebellitis along with data on Listing's plane, calculated from consecutive infrared video-oculogram recordings. We found thickening of Listing's plane at the early stage of the disease, and a gradual reduction of the thickness into normal range in parallel with the recovery of the patient's posture and gate. Notably, clinical improvement of the patient's posture was delayed relative to the normalization of the thickness of Listing's plane. The thickness of Listing's plane reflects the stability of the cerebellar-mediated cognitive gravitational reference frame. This thickness value could serve as a parameter to quantitatively evaluate the function of the constructed internal model. Recovery from cerebellar ataxia (manifested as normalization of the thickness of Listing's plane) was followed by recovery of muscular strength lost during the period the patient was by his disease forced to assume a lying position.
