Convergence substitution for paralysed horizontal gaze.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three patients with paralysed horizontal gaze are presented. Involuntary use of convergence to assist horizontal gaze was noted as a late feature. All patients showed (1) unilateral or bilateral horizontal gaze palsy (two patients had one and a half syndrome, the other had bilateral nuclear sixth nerve palsies), (2) adduction of both eyes on attempted gaze into the paralysed field, (3) miosis which coincided with adduction. Convergence substitution should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gaze induced strabismus.

Plasticity of convergence-dependent variations of cyclovergence with vertical gaze
Binocular alignment of foveal images is facilitated by cross-couplings of vergence eye movements with distance and direction of gaze. These couplings reduce horizontal, vertical and cyclodisparities at the fovea without using feedback from retinal image disparity. Horizontal vergence is coupled with accommodation. Vertical vergence that aligns tertiary targets in asymmetric convergence is thoug...
متن کاملAn uncommon case of horizontal Gaze Palsy with scoliosis and associated brain-stem anomaly (HGPPS)
HGPPS is a rare congenital disorder resulting from cranial nuclear maldevelopment and characterized by absence of conjugate horizontal eye movements, preservation of vertical gaze & convergence, progressive scoliosis developing in childhood and hypoplasia of dorsomedial brainstem structures associated with sagittal cleft of pons and medulla. We present a 19 years old male, with restriction of e...
متن کاملAbnormalities of horizontal gaze. Clinical, oculographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings. II. Gaze palsy and internuclear ophthalmoplegia.
The site of lesions responsible for horizontal gaze palsy and various types of internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) was established by identifying the common areas where the abnormal MRI signals from patients with a given ocular-motor disorder overlapped. Patients with unilateral gaze palsy had lesions in the paramedian area of the pons, including the abducens nucleus, the lateral part of the nuc...
متن کاملOrienting gaze shifts during muscimol inactivation of caudal fastigial nucleus in the cat. I. Gaze dysmetria.
The cerebellar control of orienting behavior toward visual targets was studied in the head-unrestrained cat by analyzing the deficits of saccadic gaze shifts after unilateral injection of muscimol in the caudal part of the fastigial nucleus (cFN). Gaze shifts are rendered strongly inaccurate by muscimol cFN inactivation. The characteristics of gaze dysmetria are specific to the direction of the...
متن کاملOculomotor abnormalities in Parkinson's disease.
Ocular movement was studied in 19 patients with Parkinson's disease and in ten normal controls. Common abnormalities included "hypometric saccade" on the eye-tracking test and on command, "saccadic pursuit," and convergence paresis. Reaction time was longer in patients with Parkinson's disease than in controls for horizontal saccadic gaze, finger movements, and body movements. Maximal saccadic ...
