151 Figure 50: Anatomy and Physiology of the Saccadic PathwaysWhen a saccade is desired (or reflexively triggered), signals project from the saccade-related cortical eye fields to the superior colliculus, which serves to integrate and relay commands to the saccade generating brainstem circuitry. The inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) carries climbing fibers to...Image
152 Figure 51: Lateral Medullary Lesion Causing Saccadic DysmetriaA lesion of the left lateral medulla and inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) will cause decreased climbing fiber inhibition of the left dorsal vermis causing simple-spike (inhibitory) discharge of Purkinje cells to increase. Increased Purkinje cell firing leads to increased inhibition of the ipsilate...Image

155 Figure 53: Vascular Distribution and Anatomy Relevant to the Lateral Medullary (Wallenberg) SyndromeThis axial section of the medulla highlights those structures that, when damaged, are responsible for the vestibular and ocular motor features of the Wallenberg syndrome. The nucleus prepositus hypoglossi (NPH) and medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) complex is important for horizontal gaze-holding (neu...Image

158 Figure 64: The Course of the 3rd (III) NerveThe 3rd nucleus lies at the ventral border of the periaqueductal gray matter, at the level of the superior colliculus. In between the two nuclei is the midline central caudal nucleus (CCN), which innervates bilateral levator palpebrae muscles (explaining how a unilateral nuclear 3rd can cause bilate...Image

160 Figure 65: Vascular Distribution and Anatomy (Including 3rd Nerve) of the Rostral MidbrainIn this axial section of the midbrain at the level of the superior colliculus, the paired 3rd nuclei are located ventral to the periaqueductal grey, and the midline central caudal nucleus (CCN) is located in between. The fascicles that exit the IIIrd nuclei carry the fibers destined to innervate the...Image

163 Figure 68: The Course of the 4th (IV) NerveThe 4th nucleus lies at the ventral border of the periaqueductal gray matter, at the level of the inferior colliculus. The fascicles exit the nucleus dorsally and decussate at the anterior medullary velum (anterior floor of the fourth ventricle), and then exit the brainstem dorsally. The peripheral ...Image

165 Figure 69: Vascular Distribution and Anatomy (Including 4th Nerve) of the Caudal MidbrainIn this axial section of the midbrain at the level of the inferior colliculus, the 4th nuclei are located ventral to the periaqueductal grey, dorsal to the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) and medial to the oculosympathetic tract. Fascicles exit the nucleus dorsally and decussate at the anterior...Image

168 Figure 80: Vascular Distribution and Anatomy Relevant to the Medial Medullary SyndromeThis axial section of the medulla highlights those structures that, when damaged, are often responsible for spontaneous upbeat nystagmus (UBN). The nucleus of Roller and nucleus intercalatus normally have an inhibitory influence over the cerebellar flocculus, and when there is a lesion of Roller/int...Image

171 Gaze-Evoked and Centripetal Nystagmus in Creutzfeldt-Jakob DiseaseThis is a 65-year-old woman who experienced a progressive cerebellopathy over several months. Initially, she presented with mild gait imbalance and positional vertigo, and there was only apogeotropic positional nystagmus (more pronounced in supine roll test compared to Dix-Hallpike) with a very slig...Image/MovingImage
172 Gaze-evoked and Rebound Nystagmus in a Cerebellar Syndrome𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 30-yo-man with the subacute onset of a cerebellar syndrome. After extensive evaluation and progression, it was thought that this represented an autoimmune process and there was some improvement with immunosuppression. He ...Image/MovingImage
173 Gaze-Evoked Nystagmus & Slow Saccades Due to Anti-GAD Antibodies in a Patient with Stiff Person SyndromeThis is a 70-year-old woman with a several year long history of imbalance and stiffness. Exam demonstrated axial and lower extremity stiffness, and ocular motor exam demonstrated gaze-evoked nystagmus (e.g., right-beating in right gaze, left-beating in left gaze, up-beating in up gaze), and mild to ...Image/MovingImage
174 Head Movement Independent ('Sitting') Oscillopsia - A Common Symptom of Nystagmus and Saccadic Intrusions/Oscillations𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This video is an example of what a patient with spontaneous nystagmus or saccadic intrusions/oscillations experiences visually during the abnormal eye movements - i.e., oscillopsia (illusion of movement of the stationary ...Image/MovingImage
175 Head-Shaking-Induced Nystagmus Following Ramsay Hunt Vestibulopathy𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This is a 50-year-old man who experienced the abrupt onset of imbalance, dizziness and left-sided hearing loss 4 months prior to this examination. He was found to have herpetic vesicles in the left external auditory canal...Image/MovingImage
