| Abstract |
A 51-year-old woman with spinocerebellar degeneration manifested an unusual disorder of eye movements. She presented with bilateral abducens palsy and slow eye movements in the horizontal plane. Slow eye movements typically are seen with supranuclear lesions, whereas abducens palsies are of nuclear or infranuclear origin. This unique combination of eye movement disorders is discussed, as well as other features of ophthalmoplegias associated with spinocerebellar degeneration. |
