Spasm of the near reflex.
Four patients with spasm of the near reflex are described. This entity is characterized by transient attacks of convergence, accommodation, and miosis, and is usually seen in young individuals as a functional disturbance. This disease has to be differentiated from other horizontal gaze disturbances, including sixth nerve palsy, divergence paralysis, and insufficiency. Despite extensive investigations, no central nervous system disease was found.
