Opsoclonus refers to uncontrolled, irregular, and nonrhythmic eye movement. Opsoclonus consists of rapid, involuntary, multivectorial (horizontal and vertical), unpredictable, conjugate fast eye movements without inter-saccadic intervals. [1] It is also referred to as saccadomania or reflexive saccade.
The most important symptoms for diagnosing SS are tremor, extreme aggressiveness, akathisia, or clonus (spontaneous, inducible and ocular). [10] Physical examination of the patient should include assessment of deep tendon reflexes and muscle rigidity, the dryness of the mucosa of the mouth , the size and reactivity of the pupils, the intensity ...
Opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS), also known as opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia (OMA), is a rare neurological disorder of unknown cause which appears to be the result of an autoimmune process involving the nervous system.
Clonus is a set of involuntary and rhythmic muscular contractions and relaxations. Clonus is a sign of certain neurological conditions, particularly associated with upper motor neuron lesions involving descending motor pathways, and in many cases is accompanied by spasticity (another form of hyperexcitability).

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.

Oculocardiac reflex can be profound during eye examination for retinopathy of prematurity. [5] However, this reflex may also occur with adults. Bradycardia, junctional rhythm and asystole, all of which may be life-threatening, [6] can be induced through this reflex. This reflex has been seen to occur during many pan facial trauma surgeries due ...
Microsaccades are disrupted in several ophthalmologic disorders, including amblyopia, strabismus, myopia, and macular disease, reflecting the impact of visual impairment on eye movement control. In amblyopia, monocular fixation with the amblyopic eye leads to increased drift and frequent saccadic intrusions, especially in cases involving ...
