Brain stem mechanism in ocular motor function.
The progress of clinical and experimental neuro-ophthalmology during the last two decades was reviewed. The ocular motor system in the brain stem was described firstly based on anatomical, neurophysiological and clinical evidences. Clinical syndromes in cerebrovascular brain stem impairments which present ocular motor dysfunction were analyzed briefly.
