Disorders of ocular motility may occur after injury at several levels of
the neuraxis. Unilateral supranuclear disorders of gaze tend to be
transient; bilateral disorders more enduring. Nuclear disorders of gaze
also tend to be enduring and are frequently present in association with
long tract signs and cranial nerve palsies on opposite sides of the body.
Nystagmus is a reliable sign of posterior fossa or peripheral eight nerve
pathology. Familiarity with these concepts may help the clinician answer
questions regarding localization and prognosis.
