An electro-oculographic study of ocular bobbing and intermittent vertical oscillations occuring in the same patient.
A surviving patient with two rare types of abnormal eye movements, typical ocular bobbing and subsequently developed intermittent vertical oscillations of the eyes, is described, and a follow-up series of electro-oculographic recordings of these eye movements is analyzed. It is suggested that these two types of vertical eye movements might have a common pathophysiological background and the activity of remaining functional oculomotor pathways may play an important role in their occurrence.
