Abstract
The clinical and neuroradiological findings, and long-term intellectual prognosis in 10 patients (4 boys and 6 girls) with congenital ocular motor apraxia (COMA) are reviewed by researchers at Tottori University, Yonago, Japan.
Highlights
Typical oculomotor findings of congenital ocular motor apraxia (COMA) were elicited in all patients, excessive blinking in 5, strabismus (7), and oblique lateral glance in 8
COMA was diagnosed by impaired voluntary, saccadic eye movements, and head thrusting movements in the horizontal direction
Ataxia was common in the later-walking group, and was complicated by speech problems and intellectual retardation
Summary
Typical oculomotor findings of COMA (locking-up during manual spinning and impaired optikokinetic nystagmus) were elicited in all patients, excessive blinking in 5, strabismus (7), and oblique lateral glance in 8. The clinical and neuroradiological findings, and long-term intellectual prognosis in 10 patients (4 boys and 6 girls) with congenital ocular motor apraxia (COMA) are reviewed by researchers at Tottori University, Yonago, Japan. COMA was diagnosed by impaired voluntary, saccadic eye movements, and head thrusting movements in the horizontal direction.
