| Description |
Saccadic pulses are brief intrusions upon steady fixation. They are produced when a saccadic pulse is unaccompanied by a step command. The eye movement thus consists of a saccade away from the fixation position, with a rapid drift back. Saccadic pulses may occur in series or as doublets. They are encountered in some normal subjects and in patients with MS. Saccadic pulses may occur in other disorders. Their pathophysiology is not well understood. |
