Electro-oculographic Studies in a Patient With Wallenberg's Syndrome

Guntram Kommerell, MD; William F. Hoyt, MD

Arch Neurol. 1973;28(5):313-318.

Abstract
A leftward bias of eye movements was associated with leftward lateropulsion of limb and body movements in a patient with left lateral medullary infarction. The ocular motor abnormality was most striking during shifts of fixation; all saccades to the left were too large while all saccades to the right were too small; saccades upward or downward veered to the left along an oblique rather than a vertical line.
