[Ocular tilt reaction in thalamic infarct].

چکیده
Ocular tilt reaction (OTR) includes skew deviation, eye torsion and head tilt. It is usually accompanied by a tilt in the subjective visual vertical. OTR seems to reflect an otolithic dysfunction. This case report shows an OTR of central origin as a result of simultaneous paramedial thalamic and mesencephalon rostral infarcts.

Ipsiversive partial ocular tilt reaction in a patient with acute paramedian thalamic infarctions.
The ocular tilt reaction (OTR) consists of skew deviation, ocular torsion and head tilt. A 54-year-old woman developed sudden onset of vertical diplopia. On primary gaze, there was skew deviation with the left eye higher than the right eye. The photography of fundus disclosed 15 degrees of excyclotropia of the right eye and 20 degrees of incyclotropia of the left eye. There was no motor deficit...

Amadeo R. Rodriguez, MD Robert A. Egan, MD Jason J.S. Barton, MD, PhD, FRCPC In skew deviation, one eye is higher than the other, causing vertical diplopia. Skew deviation is a prenuclear disorder resulting from imbalance in otolith input to the oculomotor system, produced by unilateral lesions anywhere from the otoliths to the interstitial nucleus of Cajal in the rostral midbrain,1 and as such...

Physical examination showed convergence-retraction nystagmus on up-gaze and see-saw nystagmus on left-gaze (video 1). She also had ocular tilt reaction (OTR) with skew devi...
متن کاملPerceived vertical and lateropulsion: clinical syndromes, localization, and prognosis.
We present a clinical classification of central vestibular syndromes according to the three major planes of action of the vestibulo-ocular reflex: yaw, roll, and pitch. The plane-specific syndromes are determined by ocular motor, postural, and perceptual signs. Yaw plane signs are horizontal nystagmus, past pointing, rotational and lateral body falls, deviation of perceived straight-ahead to th...
متن کاملGait Balance Disorder by Thalamic Infarction with the Disorder of Interstitial Nucleus of Cajal
The interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC) is thought to play an important role in torsional/vertical eye position and head posture, and disorders of the INC induce abnormal ocular movements and head tilt. Our patients with ocular tilt reactions simultaneously also had disturbances in ambulatory balance, yet no reports address the loss of balance control induced by disorders of the INC. We examine...
