238 |
|
Palato-ocular Synchrony in Oculopalatal Tremor | This is a patient with OPT due to a pontine hemorrhage, and although she did have torsional pendular nystagmus, it was very subtle. However, with eyelid closure, much larger vertical ocular oscillations could be seen, which were in fact synchronous with her palatal tremor. This finding, sometimes ... | Image/MovingImage |
