בת 20 עם מחלה פסיכיאטרית ברקע מגיע למיון בתלונה שלא מצליחה להוריד את העיניים כלפי מטה.
מה הטיפול במצב זה?

A

מדובר ב
occulogyral crises
והטיפול הוא תרופה אנטיכולינרגית

Another unusual disturbance of gaze is the oculogyric Crisis, or spasm, which consists of a tonic spasm of conjugate deviation of the eyes, usually upward and less frequently, laterally or downward. Recurrent attacks,
sometimes associated with spasms of the neck, mouth, and tongue muscles and lasting from a few seconds to an hour or two, were pathognomonic of postencephalitic Parkinsonism in the past. Now this phenomenon is observed as an acute reaction in patients being given phenothiazine and related neuroleptic drugs and in Niemann-Pick disease. The pathogenesis of these ocular spasms is not known. In the drug-induced form, upward deviation of the eyes is often associated with a report by the patient of peculiar obsessional thoughts;
the entire syndrome can be terminated by the administration of an anticholinergic medication such as benztropine.

Q

מטופל הטוען שהוא עיוור
איזו בדיקה תוכיח לנו שהוא אכן רואה?

A

optokinetic nystagmus
Complete feigned blindness is disproved by observing the normal ocular jerk movements
in response to a rotating optokinetic drum or strip,
or by noting that the patient’s eyes follow their own image in a mirror that is moved in front of them.
An important additional fact about OKN is that the
ability to evoke it in all directions proves that the patient is not blind. Each eye can be tested separately to exclude monocular blindness. Thus the test is of particular value in the examination of hysterical patients and malingerers who claim that they cannot see, and of neonates and infants.

additional facts about specific lesions:
* Parietal Lobe Lesions – loss of pursuit in direction of the lesion

  • Frontal Lobe Lesions – no fast phase correction in the direction opposite the lesion

smooth pursuit
בכיוון האיפסי לטרלי

The pathways for smooth pursuit movements are less well defined. One probably originates in the posterior parietal cortex and the adjacent temporal, and anterior occipital cortex (area MT of the monkey) and descends to
the ipsilateral dorsolateral pontine nuclei. Also contributing to smooth pursuit movements are projections from the frontal eye fields to the ipsilateral dorsolateral pontine nuclei. The latter, in turn, project to the flocculus and dorsal vermis of the cerebellum, which provide stability
for the pursuit movements. However, for the purposes of clinical work, lesions of the posterior parietal cortex are the ones known to impair pursuit toward the damaged side.

RiMLF
INC
Posterior commisure
3rd nerve nucleus

  • The riMLF lies at the junction of the midbrain and thalamus, at the rostral end of the medial longitudinal fasciculus, just dorsomedial to the rostral pole of the red nucleus. It functions as the “premotor” nucleus with “burst cells” for the production of fast (saccadic) vertical
    versional and torsional movements
    . Input to the riMLF arises both from the PPRF and the vestibular nuclei. Each riMLF projects mainly ipsilaterally to the oculomotor and trochlear nuclei, but each riMLF is also connected to its counterpart by fibers that traverse the posterior commissure. Bilateral lesions of the riMLF or of their interconnections in the posterior commissure are more common than unilateral ones, and cause a loss either of downward saccades or of all vertical saccades.
  • The INC is a small collection of cells that lies just caudal to the riMLF on each side. Each nucleus projects to the motor neurons of the opposite elevator muscles (superior rectus and inferior oblique) by fibers that cross
    through the posterior commissure
    , and it projects ipsilaterally and directly to the depressor muscles (inferior rectus and superior oblique). The functional role of the
    INC appears to be in holding eccentric vertical gaze, especially after a saccade; it is also integral to the vestibuloocular Reflex. Lesions of the INC produce a *vertical gaze-evoked and torsional nystagmus, and an ocular tilt reaction and probably slow all conjugate eye movements,
    mainly vertical ones. *
  • Lesions of the posterior commissure are common; they interrupt signals crossing to and from the INC and the riMLF.
    A lesion here **characteristically produces a paralysis of upward gaze and of convergence, often associated with mild mydriasis, accommodative loss, convergence
    nystagmus, lid retraction (Collier “tucked lid” sign), and, less commonly, ptosis. This constellation is the Parinaud Syndrome**, also referred to as the pretectal, dorsal midbrain,
    or sylvian aqueduct syndrome (see ‘‘Vertical Gaze
    Palsy” further on). In some instances, only a restricted combination of these signs is seen. The same syndrome may be produced by unilateral lesions of the posterior commissure, presumably by interrupting bidirectional connections from the riMLF and INC.
    With acute lesions of the commissure, there is a tonic downward deviation of the eyes and lid retraction (“setting-sun sign”).

Cerebellar nodules

Periodic alternating nystagmus is a remarkable horizontal jerking that periodically (every 90 seconds or so) changes direction, interposed with a brief neutral period during which the eyes show no nystagmus, or jerk downward. Alternating nystagmus is seen with lesions in the lower brainstem but has also been reported with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, hepatic encephalopathy, lesions of the cerebellar nodulus, carcinomatous meningitis,anti-GAD antibodies, and varied other processes.

More types of nystagmus:

  • Upbeat nystagmus: demyelination, stroke, tumours, wernicke (?anterior cerebellar vermis,
    Pontomedullary?)
  • Downbeat Nystagmus: medullary-cervical areas – e.g. syringobulbia, chiari, basilar invagination, Demyelinating plaques. Wernicke’s, brainstem encephalitis, cerebellar degeneration with opsoclonus’, flocoulus lesions, lithium intoxiction, magnesium depletion, anti GAD association.
  • Gaze evoked, round nystagmus, downbeat nystagmus – cerebellar disease
  • Pendular Nystagmus – congenital, acquired: leukodystrophies, MS, toulene intoxication, occulomasticatory myoarrhythmia of whipple,
  • Convergence Nystagmus - PARINAUD, DORSAL MIDBRAIN SYNDROME
  • See Saw Nystagmus - torsional – vertical oscillation – sellar and parasellar masses (conjoined with hemianopia), after pituitary surgery
  • Nystagmus of Labyrinthine Origin
    horizontal or vertical unidirectional jerk nystagmus, often with a slight torsional Component ,suppressed by fixation,beats in most cases away from the side of the lesion and increases as the eyes are turned in the direction of the quick phase (the Alexander law), characteristically has an additional torsional component.

A

See Saw

  • See saw nystagmus is a torsional-vertical oscillation in which the intorting eye moves up and the opposite (extorting) eye moves down, then both move in the reverse direction. It is occasionally observed in conjunction with chiasmatic bitemporal hemianopia caused by sellar or parasellar masses and after pituitary surgery

More types of nystagmus:
* Convergence nystagmus refers to a rhythmic oscillation in which a slow abduction of both eyes is followed by a quick movement of adduction, usually accompanied by quick rhythmic retraction movements of the eyes (nystagmus retractorius, retraction nystagmus) and by one or more features of the Parinaud-dorsal midbrain syndrome. There may also be rhythmic movements of the eyelids or a maintained spasm of convergence, best brought out on attempted elevation of the eyes on command or downward rotation of an
OKN drum. These unusual phenomena all point to a lesion of the upper midbrain tegmentum and are usually manifestations of vascular disease, traumatic damage, or tumor, notably pinealoma that compresses this region.

labyrinthitis

Nystagmus of Labyrinthine Origin
This is predominantly a horizontal or vertical unidirectional jerk nystagmus, often with a slight torsional Component, that is evident when the eyes are close to the central position and changes minimally with the direction of gaze. It is more prominent when visual fixation is eliminated (conversely, it is suppressed by fixation).
Vestibular nystagmus of peripheral (labyrinthine) origin beats in most cases away from the side of the lesion and increases as the eyes are turned in the direction of the quick phase (the Alexander law).
In contrast, nystagmus of brainstem and cerebellar origin is most apparent when the patient fixates upon and follows a moving target and the direction of nystagmus changes with the direction of gaze.
Labyrinthine-vestibular nystagmus is horizontal, vertical, or oblique, and that of purely labyrinthine origin characteristically has an additional torsional component. Tinnitus and hearing loss are often associated with disease of the peripheral labyrinthine mechanism; also, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and staggering may accompany disease of any part of the labyrinthine-vestibular apparatus or its central connections.

other types of nystagmus

  • ** Downbeat nystagmus** , which is always of central origin, is characteristic of lesions in the medullary-cervical region such as syringobulbia, Chiari malformation (most commonly), basilar invagination, and demyelinating plaques. It has also
    been seen with Wernicke disease and may be an initial sign of either paraneoplastic brainstem encephalitis or cerebellar degeneration with opsoclonus. Downbeat nystagmus, usually in association with oscillopsia, has also been observed in patients with lithium intoxication or with profound magnesium depletion Cases associated with antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), a substance that has a documented relationship to the stiff man syndrome have been reported by Antonini and colleagues and by other groups. Whether this antibody explains the idiopathic cases of downbeat nystagmus is not known.

הפאזה המהירה עם כיוון התוף בבדיקת
OKN

The nystagmus is always binocular and in one plane; i.e., it will remain horizontal even during vertical movement. It is mainly pendular (sinusoidal) except in extremes of gaze, when it comes to resemble jerk nystagmus. Head oscillation may accompany the nystagmus and is probably compensatory. With eye movement recordings it displays a feature unique among nystagmus, an exponentially increasing velocity of the slow phase.
Indications as to the congenital nature of nystagmus are that it remains horizontal in all directions of gaze; it is suppressed during convergence and may be associated with odd head positions or with head oscillations and with strabismus. Also characteristic is a paradoxical response to optokinetic testing, in which the quick phase is in the same direction as the drum rotation.

When infraclinoid retrocavernous compressive Lesions, such as aneurysms and tumors, affect the oculomotor Nerve, they tend to also involve all three divisions of the trigeminal nerve.
In the posterior portion of the cavernous sinus, the first and second trigeminal divisions are involved along with the oculomotor nerves;
In the anterior portion, only the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve is affected.
The fourth and sixth nerves are practically never involved by aneurysm. This reflects the relative infrequency of carotid artery aneurysms in the infraclinoid portion of the cavernous sinus, where they could impinge on the sixth nerve. (In contrast, supraclinoid aneurysms commonly involve the third nerve.)

The oculomotor nerve, soon after it emerges from the brainstem, passes between the superior cerebellar and posterior cerebral arteries. The nerve (and sometimes the posterior cerebral artery) may be compressed at this point by herniation of the uncal gyrus of the temporal lobe through the tentorial opening .
The sixth nerve, after leaving the brainstem, sweeps upward along the clivus and then runs alongside the third and fourth
cranial nerves
; together they course anteriorly, pierce the dura just lateral to the posterior clinoid process, and run in the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus, where they are closely applied to the internal carotid artery and first and second divisions of the fifth nerve.
When infraclinoid retrocavernous compressive
lesions, such as aneurysms and tumors, affect the oculomotor nerve, they tend to also involve all three divisions of the trigeminal nerve.
In the posterior portion of the cavernous sinus, the first and second trigeminal divisions are involved along with the oculomotor nerves;
in the anterior portion, only the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve is affected.
Just posterior and superior to the cavernous sinus, the oculomotor nerve crosses the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery at its junction with the posterior communicating artery. An aneurysm at this site frequently damages the third nerve; this serves to localize the site of compression or bleeding.

הקליניקה מחשידה פה לשיתוק של עצב קרניאלי 3

Third Nerve Palsy
The third nerve is commonly compressed by aneurysm, tumor, or temporal lobe herniation.
neoplastic diseases accounted for 25 percent and aneurysms for 18 percent. Of the neoplasms, 25 percent were parasellar meningiomas and 4 percent were pituitary adenomas. The palsy is usually chronic, progressive, and painless. As emphasized earlier, enlargement of the pupil is a sign of extramedullary third nerve compression because of the peripheral location in the nerve of the pupilloconstrictor fibers.

In chronic compressive lesions of the third nerve (distal carotid, basilar, or, most commonly, posterior communicating artery aneurysm; pituitary tumor, meningioma, cholesteatoma) the pupil is almost always affected by way of dilatation or reduced light response. However, the chronicity of the lesion may permit aberrant nerve regeneration. This is manifest by pupillary constriction on adduction of the eye or by retraction of the upper lid on downward gaze or adduction.
Rarely, children or young adults have recurrent attacks of ocular palsy in conjunction with an otherwise typical migraine (ophthalmoplegic migraine). The muscles (both extrinsic and intrinsic) innervated by the oculomotor, or less commonly, by the abducens nerve, are affected. Possibly, spasm of the vessels supplying these nerves or compression by edematous arteries causes a transitory ischemic paralysis but these are speculations. Arteriograms done after the onset of the palsy usually disclose no abnormality. Although the oculomotor palsy of migraine tends to recover, after repeated attacks there may be permanent partial paresis.

third-nerve palsy (ptosis, diplopia, dilatation of pupil, and divergent strabismus), indicates an aneurysm at the junction of the posterior communicating artery and the internal carotid artery—the third nerve passes immediately lateral to this point or at the posterior cerebral-posterior communicating artery junction;

22
Q
A

posterior commissure
Lesions of the posterior commissure are common; they interrupt signals crossing to and from the INC and the riMLF. A lesion here characteristically produces a paralysis of upward gaze and of convergence, often associated with mild mydriasis, accommodative loss, convergence nystagmus, lid retraction (Collier “tucked lid” sign), and, less commonly, ptosis. This constellation is the** Parinaud syndrome, also referred to as the pretectal, dorsal midbrain,
or sylvian aqueduct syndrome**
In some instances, only a restricted combination of these signs is seen. The same syndrome may be produced by unilateral lesions of the posterior
commissure, presumably by interrupting bidirectional connections from the riMLF and INC. With acute lesions of the commissure, there is a tonic downward deviation of the eyes and lid retraction (“setting-sun sign”). The MLF is the main conduit of signals that control vertical gaze from the vestibular nuclei in the medulla to the midbrain centers. For this reason, with internuclear ophthalmoplegia, along with the characteristic adductor paresis on the affected side, vertical pursuit and the VOR are impaired. This is most evident when there are bilateral
internuclear ophthalmoplegias.
Vertical deviation of the ipsilateral eye (skew) may be seen in cases of unilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia.

  • Atropinics dilate the pupils by paralyzing the parasympathetic nerve endings;
  • physostigmine constrict the pupils, by inhibiting cholinesterase activity at the neuromuscular junction.
  • pilocarpine constrict by direct stimulation of
    the sphincter muscle
    of the iris.
  • Epinephrine and phenylephrine Dilate the pupils by direct stimulation of the dilator Muscle.
  • Cocaine dilates the pupils by preventing the reabsorption of norepinephrine into the nerve endings.
  • apraclonidine, a weak direct alpha-agonist drug has been shown to reliably reverse the anisocoria of Horner syndrome and has become the preferred drug for testing. Normally apraclonidine does not exert significant dilatory effect, but with denervation hypersensitivity that accompanies Horner syndrome, the miotic pupil dilates in response to the drug.

Horner Syndrome
Interruption of the sympathetic fibers result in miosis and ptosis (because of paralysis of the pupillary dilator muscle and of Milller muscle, respectively). The lesion may be central, between the hypothalamus and the points of exit of sympathetic fibers from the spinal cord (CS to T3, mainly T2), or peripheral, in the cervical sympathetic chain, superior cervical ganglion, or along the carotid artery.
A congenital form caused by perinatal injury, usually of the sympathetic chain in the neck is seen regularly in our clinics. A hereditary form of the Horner syndrome (autosomal dominant) is also known, usually but not always associated with a congenital absence of pigment in the affected iris (heterochromia iridis).
To the ophthalmic findings may be added loss of sweating on the same side of the face and redness of the conjunctiva. The entire complex is called the Horner syndrome, Bernard-Horner syndrome, or oculosympathetic palsy. The pupillary change may be subtle and may require covering the eyes or dimming the room lights to observe the lack of expected mydriasis on one side.
Most cases are caused by peripheral interruption of the sympathetic chain but the same effect may be produced by ipsilateral lesions of the sympathetic tract in the medulla or cervical cord. The pattern of sweating may be helpful in localizing the lesion in the following manner:
* With lesions at the level of the common carotid artery, loss of sweating involves the entire side of the face.
* With lesions distal to the carotid bifurcation, loss of sweating is not found or is confined to the medial aspect of the forehead and side of the nose.
Retraction of the eyeball (enophthalmos), considered a component of the syndrome, is probably an illusion created by narrowing
of the palpebral fissure.

Caloric-induced nystagmus Labyrinthine stimulation-e.g.,
Cold water induces a slow tonic Deviation of the eyes toward the irrigated ear and a compensatory nystagmus in the opposite direction; warm water does the reverse. Thus the acronym taught to generations of medical students: COWS, or “cold opposite, warm same,“ to refer to the direction of the fast phase of the induced nystagmus. The slow tonic component reflects impulses originating in the semicircular canals, and the fast component is a corrective movement.
* In comatose patients, the fast “corrective” phase of nystagmus is lost and the eyes are tonically deflected to the side irrigated with cold water or away from the side irrigated
with warm water
; this position may be held for 2 to 3min. Brainstem lesions disrupt these vestibuloocular Reflexes;
* In normal subjects, the nystagmus usually persists for 90 to 120 s, although the range is considerably larger. Nausea and symptoms of excessive reflex vagal activity may occur in sensitive individuals.
Simultaneous irrigation of both canals with cold water causes a tonic downward deviation of the eyes with nystagmus (quick component) upward. Bilateral irrigation with warm water yields a tonic upward movement and nystagmus in the opposite direction (“cold upward, warm down, referring again to the fast phase of nystagmus; “CUWD”). Caloric testing will reliably answer whether the vestibular end organs react, and comparison of the responses from the two ears will indicate which one is paretic. Recording of eye movements during the test allows quantification of these responses

מה התפקיד של ה=
pretectal area

A

The light reflex fibers leave the optic tract just rostral to the lateral geniculate body and enter
the high mid-brain, where they synapse in the pretectal nucleus.
The pretectal area, or pretectum, is a midbrain structure composed of seven nuclei and comprises part of the subcortical visual system. Through reciprocal bilateral projections from the retina, it is involved primarily in mediating behavioral responses to acute changes in ambient light such as the pupillary light reflex, the optokinetic reflex, and temporary changes to the circadian rhythm

Figure 13-1. The supranuclear pathways subserving horizontal gaze to the left. The pathway originates in the right frontal cortex, descends in the internal capsule, decussates at the level of the rostral pons, and descends to synapse in the left pontine paramedian reticular formation (PPRF). Further connections with the ipsilateral sixth nerve nucleus and contralateral medial longitudinal fasciculus are also indicated. The right MLF (green line) is labeled between the abducens and oculomotor nuclei and the vestibular nuclei (VN) are shown on the right. LR, lateral rectus; MLF, medial longitudinal fasciculus; MR, medial rectus.

Figure 13-2. Pathways for the control of vertical eye movements. The main structures are the interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC), the rostral interstitial nucleus of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (riMLF), and the subnuclei of the third nerve, all located in the dorsal midbrain. Voluntary vertical movements are initiated by the simultaneous activity of both frontal cortical eye fields. The riMLF serves as the generator of vertical saccades and the INC acts tonically to hold eccentric vertical gaze. The INC and riMLF connect with their contralateral nuclei via the posterior commissure, where fibers are subject to damage. Projections for upgaze cross through the commissure before descending to innervate the third nerve nucleus, while those for downgaze may travel directly to the third nerve, thus accounting for the frequency of selective upgaze palsies (see text). The MLF carries signals from the vestibular nuclei, mainly ipsilaterally, to stabilize the eyes in the vertical plane (VOR) and maintain tonic vertical position.

Figure 13-4. A. Midbrain in horizontal section, indicating the effects of lesions at different points along the intramedullary course of the third-nerve fibers. A lesion at the level of oculomotor nucleus results in homolateral third-nerve paralysis and homolateral anesthesia of the cornea. A lesion at the level of red nucleus results in homolateral third-nerve paralysis and contralateral ataxic tremor (Benedikt and Claude syndromes). A lesion near the point of exit of third-nerve fibers results in homolateral third-nerve paralysis and crossed corticospinal tract signs (Weber syndrome; see Table 44-2). B. Brainstem at the level of the sixth-nerve nuclei, indicating effects of lesions at different loci. A lesion at the level of the nucleus results in homolateral sixth- and seventh-nerve paralyses with varying degrees of nystagmus and weakness of conjugate gaze to the homolateral side. A lesion at the level of corticospinal tract results in homolateral sixth-nerve paralysis and crossed hemiplegia (Millard-Gubler syndrome).
