Pursuit gaze and the occipitoparietal region. A case report
A. G. Reeves, J. Perret, L. R. Jenkyn and J. M. Saint-Hilaire
A patient lost smooth pursuit gaze to the side opposite a right
occipitoparietal hemorrhage. Saccadic gaze was preserved. Pursuit gaze
broken by saccades was present toward the side of the lesion. Optokinetic
nystagmus (OKN) was defective when a tape was moved toward the patient from
the hemianopic fields. Within two weeks, the contralateral pursuit gaze
defect had cleared; however, the visual field and OKN defects and the
ipsilateral pursuit gaze abnormality persisted.
