Congenital adduction palsy and synergistic divergence: a clinical and electro-oculographic study.
We studied two patients with a peculiar congenital disturbance of ocular motility in which the horizontal movements of the left eye were always opposite the normal expected direction. The common features were: (1) congenital monocular adduction palsy and exotropia of the left eye; (2) simultaneous abduction of both eyes (divergence) on attempted dextroversion; (3) ocular torticollis, head turne...
متن کاملFamilial congenital oculomotor apraxia: clinical and electro-oculographic features.
The electro-oculographic (EOG) features of both horizontal and vertical eye movements in congenital oculomotor apraxia (COMA) were not previously reported. A girl referred to the ophthalmologic department for abnormal eye movements was diagnosed as COMA. The same abnormal ocular movements were observed in her younger sister and her father who was unaware of his difficulties to initiate voluntar...
متن کاملDivergence paralysis with raised intracranial pressure. An electro-oculographic study.
Divergence paralysis is characterized by acquired horizontal homonymous diplopia when viewing distant objects but without limitation of ocular movements (Bielschowsky, I935). Although raised intracranial pressure is a significant aetiological factor in the production of divergence paralysis (Bender and Savitsky, I940; Chamlin and Davidoff, I950, 1951), there has been much diversity of opinion a...

متن کاملElectro-oculographic abnormalities in amblyopia.
BACKGROUND Electrodiagnostic tests have been used to investigate retinal function in amblyopia but previous results have been conflicting. METHODS It was decided to investigate whether the electro-oculogram (EOG) showed any abnormalities in 12 adult amblyopes and 12 age and sex matched controls with normal vision. The mean amplitudes of the EOG recordings from each eye during 12 minutes of da...
