Gaze Palsies

The function of the ocular motor system is to acquire and maintain target fixation. This necessitates proper functioning of higher cortical centers responsible for choosing appropriate targets and generating commands, intact pathways descending from cortical regions, properly functioning brain stem nuclear and internuclear structures, and intact motoneurons to overcome the mechanics of the ocular plant

The Ocular Motor Nuclei and Ophthalmoplegia

This paper will review the patho-physiology of lesions affecting the ocular motor nuclei. I will not consider previous reports of damage to these structures but will instead focus upon the anatomy and neuro-physiology.ICnuclearcenter

The Ocular Tilt Reaction and Skew Deviation

The ocular tilt reaction composes a triad of ipsilateral head-tilt, ipsilateral conjugate ocular torsion, and skew deviation with ipsilateral hypotropia. It results from a disruption of central vestibular pathways conveying information from the semicircular canals and otoliths. Skew deviation is one component of the syndrome which may or may not be associated with the concomitant torsion and head-tilt of the ocular tilt reaction. Because of the frequent clinical presentation of skew deviation it merits special attention

Vigabatrin and Visual Loss

Vigabatrin is an anti-epileptic agent which inhibits the enzyme responsible for the catabolism of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric (GABA)
