Abstract:
Movement disorders are a diverse group of neurologic disorders that share in common the frequent development of clinical abnormalities in ocular motility or visual perception. This article reviews the recent literature pertaining to the neuro-ophthalmologic advances in the basal ganglia disorders (Parkinson disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy, and Huntington disease), the spinocerebellar ataxias and episodic ataxias, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, benign essential blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, and Tourette syndrome.
