Oculogyric crisis (OGC) is a rare sudden, paroxysmal, dystonic reaction that may manifest in response to specific drugs, particularly neuroleptics, or medical conditions, such as movement disorders. This neurological phenomenon is characterized by a sustained dystonic, conjugate, involuntary upward deviation of both eyes lasting seconds to hours.
Oculogyric Crisis (OGC) is a rare, acute dystonic reaction involving the extraocular muscles. OGC is most commonly described as the involuntary upward deviation of both eyes due to spasms and increased tone in the extraocular muscles.
Oculogyric crisis, first described in patients who had encephalitis lethargica, is a form of acute dystonia. It takes its name from the tendency of the eyes to deviate, although eye movements are only part of this syndrome.
Our initial clinical suspicion was oculogyric crisis (OGC). We ordered a brain MRI and video electroencephalography (EEG), and the results of both were normal. Aripiprazole was discontinued and replaced with olanzapine 5 mg PO, which was chosen because of its sedative profile.
Oculogyric crisis (OGC) is a neurological disorder characterized by focal ocular muscle dystonia, which was first observed in patients with post-encephalitic parkinsonism between 1910 and 1930 1-2 .
Oculogyric crisis (OGC) describes the clinical phenomenon of sustained dystonic, conjugate and typically upward deviation of the eyes lasting from seconds to hours.
Oculogyric crises are involuntary movements of the eyeballs and can occur due to different etiologies. This video abstract shows a man with oculogyric crises due to side effect of neuroleptics. Oculogyric crises are easy to recognize if once seen. ...
Oculogyric crises are a rare movement disorder characterized by paroxysmal, conjugate, tonic, usually upwards, deviation of the eyes. Causes for oculogyric crises are limited and include complications of dopamine-receptor blocking medications and neurometabolic disorders affecting dopamine metabolism, suggesting that an underlying ...

Oculogyric crisis (OGC) is a rare neurologic manifestation char-acterized by sustained dystonic, conjugate and typically upward deviation of the eyes lasting from seconds to hours [1]. Oculogyric crises were first described in patients with parkinsonism following the epidemy of encephalitis lethargica (Economo's disease) during the 1910 e1930s ...
