Disorders that feature impairment of
eye movements as a primary manifestation of
disease. These conditions may be divided into infranuclear, nuclear, and supranuclear disorders. Diseases of the eye
muscles or oculomotor
cranial nerves (III, IV, and VI) are considered infranuclear. Nuclear disorders are caused by
disease of the oculomotor, trochlear, or abducens nuclei in the
brain stem. Supranuclear disorders are produced by dysfunction of higher order sensory and motor systems that control
eye movements, including neural networks in the
cerebral cortex;
basal ganglia;
cerebellum; and
brain stem. Ocular
torticollis refers to a
head tilt that is caused by an ocular misalignment. Opsoclonus refers to rapid, conjugate oscillations of the eyes in multiple directions, which may occur as a parainfectious or paraneoplastic condition (e.g.,
opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome). (Adams et al., Principles of
neurology, 6th ed, p240)
