Ocular motility disorders
(Ocular Torticollis; Eye Movement Disorders; Opsoclonus; Brown Tendon Sheath Syndrome; Convergence Insufficiency; Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia; Parinaud Syndrome; Skew Deviation; Smooth Pursuit Deficiency)


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).

  • My daughter was diagnosed with Brown Syndrome and is scheduled for surgery next month. I am wondering if it's possible for vision therapy to help improve eye motility associated with Brown Syndrome rather than going through surgery. Also, I have read inf...  (+)
