Subject Nystagmus, Demeylinating disease, Ocular motility, Vestibular, Ocular manifestations of vestibular disorders
Description The MCP is a major pathway for cortico-ponto-cerebellar connections that carry eye movement information. Unilateral MCP strokes are reported to cause acute vertigo with abnormal eye movements including spontaneous horizontal and/or torsional nystagmus, ocular tilt reaction, gaze-evoked nystagmus (GEN), abnormal head-impulse test and impaired smooth pursuit. Two-thirds of patients with MCP strokes showed GEN, indicating failure of neural integration.
