title: [Palpebral and cephalic oculomotor deficits in deep cerebral hematomas].
abstract: Oculomotor functions are analysed by clinical examination and oculography in 21 cases of deep cerebral hematoma. Significant paralysis of verticality and of movements contralateral to the lesions was observed in all cases where the hemorrhage affected the paramedian thalamo-subthalamic region. A slight deficit of elevation and controlateral movements was observed in the external thalamic and capsular hematomas. In the capsulolenticular hematomas the electro-oculographic record revealed discrete disturbances. It is concluded that the oculomotor examination provides important information about the topography of these cerebral hemorrhage and the functional role of the structures concerned. The examination shows the gravity of median lesions which frequently entail serious oculomotor sequelae.
