280 Saccadic Pathways in the Brainstem and Cerebellum & Mechanism for Saccadic Dysmetria in Wallenberg Syndrome - Abnormal Function of the Brainstem/Cerebellar Saccadic Pathways with a Left Wallenberg SyndromeThe end result of a lesion involving the climbing fibers within the left lateral medulla is deficient rightward saccades (contralesional hypometric saccades), and over-active leftward saccades (ipsilesional hypermetric saccades), and ipsilesional ocular lateropulsion given this baseline imbalance. M...Image
281 Saccadic Pathways in the Brainstem and Cerebellum & Mechanism for Saccadic Dysmetria in Wallenberg Syndrome - Normal Function of the Brainstem/Cerebellar Saccadic PathwaysThe inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) carries climbing fibers to the dorsal vermis, and these fibers have an inhibitory influence over the Purkinje cells. These Purkinje cells normally inhibit the ipsilateral fastigial nucleus, and the fastigial nucleus projects to the contralateral inhibitory burs...Image

284 Sagittal Section of the Brainstem Showing Structures Related to Normal Eyelid FunctionSeen here is a sagittal view of the brainstem, with the structures relevant to normal eyelid function highlighted. The M-group, which can be found medial to the riMLF (coordinates eye and lid movements), has (weak) projections to the facial nucleus for frontalis muscle contraction, and (strong) proj...Image
285 Sagittal Section of the Midbrain Showing Structures Related to Normal Eyelid Function𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: During a vertical saccade, the rostral interstitial nucleus of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (riMLF) is activated, which excites the superior rectus (SR) and inferior oblique (IO) (IIIrd nerve) subnuclei. Additionall...Image
286 Secondary Stroke PreventionA brief overview of secondary stroke prevention. (TIA = Transient Ischemic Attack)Text
287 Semicircular PathwaysOnce the semicircular canal fibers leave the peripheral labyrinth, they synapse in the ipsilateral vestibular nucleus, and then ascend to the ocular motor nuclei. This enables the vestibulo-ocular reflex to respond to head movements in the plane of any canal or combination of canals.Text
288 Sequelae of Cerebellar Hemorrhage - Gaze-evoked Nystagmus, Alternating Skew Deviation and Palatal TremorThis is a 75-yo-woman presenting with a gait disorder. Two years prior, she suffered a cerebellar hemorrhage. On examination, there were typical cerebellar ocular motor signs including gaze-evoked nystagmus, choppy smooth pursuit and VOR suppression, and saccadic dysmetria. There was also an alterna...Image/MovingImage
289 Sequential Vasculopathic 3rd Nerve Palsies with Preserved 4th Nerve Function65-yo-man with uncontrolled diabetes who developed sequential vasculopathic 3rd nerve palsies. In attempted downgaze, there's clear incyclotorsion OU suggestive of preserved 4th nerve function on both sides. There was complete recovery over months. Video shows bilateral 3rd nerve palsies with intact...Image/MovingImage
290 Short Canal Repositioning Maneuver for Anterior Canal BPPVThe Short Canal Repositioning Maneuver is used to treat anterior canal BPPV. 1. The patient's head is rotated 45-degrees towards the affected side. 2. The patient's maintains head in a 45-degree position and enters a head hanging position (40 degrees below the horizontal). 3. The patient then mainta...Text

294 Sitting & Walking Oscillopsia in a Patient with Bilateral Vestibular Loss & Head TremorThis is a 55-year-old man with oscillopsia for two reasons: He experienced oscillopsia at rest - so-called ‘sitting' oscillopsia - not from spontaneous nystagmus, but because of a combination of bilateral vestibular loss (BVL) and a mainly horizontal head tremor (this is sometimes referred to a...Image/MovingImage
295 Skew Deviation and Spontaneous Nystagmus Due to Posterior Fossa LesionsThis is a 50-year-old woman who reported the abrupt onset of imbalance, right upper extremity incoordination and binocular vertical diplopia several months prior to her presentation to our clinic.

297 Slow Abducting Saccade in 6th Nerve Palsy40-yo-man with a right fascicular 6th nerve palsy due to stroke. There was improvement and only a minimal residual right abduction paresis OD by this visit, but still a relatively slow right abducting saccade seen in the video, especially apparent in the slow motion segment. Video shows slow abduct...Image/MovingImage
298 Slow Horizontal, Vertical and Oblique Saccades in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type IThis is a patient presenting with horizontal diplopia who was found to have divergence insufficiency, an esotropia greater at distance than near in the absence of abduction paresis. She also had very slow saccades, more so vertically than horizontally. This is particularly noticeable when asking h...Image/MovingImage
