Vertical gaze palsies affect movement of one or both eyes either in upward direction, up and down direction, or more rarely only downward direction. Very rarely only movement of one eye in one direction is affected. Vertical gaze palsies are often caused by lesions to the midbrain due to a stroke or a tumor.
Déviation conjuguée, also termed conjugate eye deviation (CED) or ipsilesional gaze shift, is a medical sign indicating brain damage (e.g. a stroke in the middle cerebral artery [1]), wherein the pupils of the eye tend to move toward the side of the body where the lesion is located.
A common cause of horizontal gaze palsies are strokes involving pontine structures, abducens nerve, or the motor cortex. [5] Horizontal gaze palsy has also been reported in cases of metastasis, [6] hemorrhage, [7] neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, [8] and multiple sclerosis.
Changes in the eye can help predict other health concerns in the body, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. A new study has identified a set of 29 vascular health indicators on the retina ...
Then comes the more characteristically described extreme and sustained upward deviation of the eyes. In addition, the eyes may converge, deviate upward and laterally, or deviate downward. The most frequently reported associated findings are backwards and lateral flexion of the neck, widely opened mouth, tongue protrusion, and ocular pain.
If the bones and skin on the face are causing the eyes to spread too far apart, the eyes may start moving by themselves without cooperating with each other. Each eye then becomes influenced by what it views and each is focused on that view, causing the deviation. Deviated gaze can also be caused by trauma, neurological disorders and epilepsy.
Todd's paresis (or postictal paresis/paralysis, "after seizure") is focal weakness in a part or all of the body after a seizure. This weakness typically affects the limbs and is localized to either the left or right side of the body. It usually subsides completely within 48 hours. Todd's paresis may also affect speech, eye position (gaze), or ...
