title: Acquired ocular motor apraxia due to bilateral frontoparietal infarcts.
abstract: A case of acquired ocular motor apraxia in a 78-year-old man is reported. Disordered saccades and pursuit movements in the horizontal and vertical planes were recorded electro-oculographically. Magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral border-zone infarcts, involving the frontal lobes and the superior part of the inferior parietal lobules.
