| Description |
The ocular tilt reaction (OTR) consists of skew deviation with both conjugate ocular torsion and head tilt toward the lower eye. It is thought to be secondary to injury of the otolith-pathway which runs from the ear to the midbrain, crossing in the pons. Paroxysmal OTR (POTR) follows hemorrhagic meso-diencephalic lesions after a delay and appears to be irritative, responding to drugs that suppress abnormal neural firing. We report a case of delayed onset of POTR following a meso-diencephalic hemorrhage from a presumed cavernous malformation. |
