Disorders of head and eye movements in children. 1980

D Taylor

Disturbances of the normal relationship of head and eye movements occur in several pathological conditions, including disorders of rapid eye movements and various forms of congenital nystagmus. In disorders of rapid eye movements the abnormal head movements may be a learned response using various techniques to improve eye velocity and amplitude. In congenital nystagmus with head shaking, the head movements may be compensatory, of common genesis, or suppressive. The vestibulo-ocular reflex may be manipulated in certain circumstances to achieve eye stability or to increase eye movement velocity. In certain head tremors the eye movements observed may be normal vestibulo-ocular compensatory movements.

D009069 Movement Disorders Syndromes which feature DYSKINESIAS as a cardinal manifestation of the disease process. Included in this category are degenerative, hereditary, post-infectious, medication-induced, post-inflammatory, and post-traumatic conditions.

D009207 Myoclonus Involuntary shock-like contractions, irregular in rhythm and amplitude, followed by relaxation, of a muscle or a group of muscles. This condition may be a feature of some CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; (e.g., EPILEPSY, MYOCLONIC). Nocturnal myoclonus is the principal feature of the NOCTURNAL MYOCLONUS SYNDROME.

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.
