Description Nonorganic disturbances of ocular motor function include disturbances of fixation, ocular motility, and alignment. Saccadic oscillations in most patients are involuntary eye movements caused by a neurological disease affecting the brainstem, cerebellum, or both. Nevertheless, some persons can produce saccadic oscillations that resemble nystagmus, ocular flutter, or opsoclonus.
