Abstract

AbstractSupranuclear disorders of eye movement result from a relative deafferentiation of oculomotor nuclei (III, IV, VI) in the presence of intact nuclei, cranial nerves and extraocular muscles. In supranuclear oculomotility disorders there is often a dissociation of eye movements (for example, gaze palsy with preserved vestibulo‐ocular reflex, or saccadic palsy with preserved pursuit). This presentation will discuss the most important supranuclear disorders, including internuclear ophthalmoplegia, dorsal mesencephalic syndrome, skew deviation, and progressive supranuclear palsy. At the end of the session, participants should be able to recognize and provide a differential diagnosis for the aforementioned supranuclear disorders.
