We report thirty-three patients with alternating skew deviation on lateral gaze. The right eye was hypertropic in right gaze, and the left eye was hypertropic in left gaze. Most patients had associated downbeat nystagmus and ataxia and were diagnosed as having lesions of the cerebellar pathways or the cervicomedullary junction. This contrasts with a previous report in which alternating skew was seen mainly in lesions of the midbrain pretectum.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009759 Nystagmus, Pathologic Involuntary movements of the eye that are divided into two types, jerk and pendular. Jerk nystagmus has a slow phase in one direction followed by a corrective fast phase in the opposite direction, and is usually caused by central or peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Pendular nystagmus features oscillations that are of equal velocity in both directions and this condition is often associated with visual loss early in life.
