oculAr Motor disorders of the cerebelluM And VestibulAr systeM
InTRoDUCTIon Here we present a bedside approach to patients with vestibular and cerebellar disease emphasizing clinical examination based on pathophysiology. The differentiation between peripheral and central vestibular disorders and precise anatomical localization within the cerebellum are emphasized. A number of specific manoeuvres are illustrated and evaluation of each of the different subcl...
متن کاملOcular Motor Function in Patients with Bilateral Vestibular Weakness
Introduction: Patients with bilateral weakness (BW) have many difficulties in gaze stability that interfere with their normal function. The aim of this study was to evaluate ocular motor functions in patients with BW to better understand the problem of gaze instability in these patients. Materials and Methods: Patients were referred from the Otolaryngology Department for Vestibular Assessmen...
متن کاملAcquired Ocular Motility Disorders and Nystagmus
Eye movement disorders may be considered in two categories: those that cause incomplete eye movements (ophthalmoparesis) and those that cause excessive eye movements (saccadic intrusions and nystagmus). Central to an understanding and correct diagnosis of abnormal eye movements is the evaluation of ocular alignment, ocular motility, and each functional class of eye movements: optokinetic, vesti...
متن کاملNystagmus and Related Ocular Motility Disorders
General Concepts and Clinical Approach This chapter concerns abnormal eye movements that disrupt steady fixation and thereby degrade vision. We now know a good deal about the normal anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology of ocular motor control (1). Our approach is to apply this knowledge to nystagmus and other ocular oscillations, since pathophysiology provides a sounder conceptual framework th...
متن کاملVibration-induced ocular torsion and nystagmus after unilateral vestibular deafferentation.
Vibration is an excitatory stimulus for both vestibular and proprioceptive afferents. Vibration applied either to the skull or to the neck muscles of subjects after unilateral vestibular deafferentation induces nystagmus and a shift of the subjective visual horizontal. Previous studies have ascribed these effects to vibratory stimulation of neck muscle proprioceptors. Using scleral search coils...
