Roving lateral eye movements in coma. A clinical-pathological study.
Five patients in deep coma due to extensive supratentorial lesions presented roving lateral eye movements (ping-pong gaze), distinguished by the fact that the eyes, after moving to one extreme of gaze, returned to the midline instead of to the opposite extreme. The phenomenon was reported recently by Reynard et al.
