[Systematic deviations of saccadic eye movements in Wallenberg syndrome]
Summary
Patients with Wallenberg's syndrome show a significant bias in saccadic eye movements toward the lesion side. This oculomotor disorder, documented via oculography, affects all saccades, suggesting a prenuclear pathology.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Ophthalmology
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Lateral medullary infarction, known as Wallenberg's syndrome, can cause various neurological deficits.
- Oculomotor disturbances are common but specific patterns require detailed investigation.
