Ch. Sauvineau. The pathogenesis of nystagmus. Pathogenie du nystagmus. Revue neurol. 1909, No. 3

Abstract

The article is devoted to the old, but still unresolved issue of the pathogenesis of nystagmus. In multiple sclerosis, nystagmus is closely associated with paralysis of associated eye movements (lateral and convergent). Both of these phenomena depend on the defeat of the supranuclear centers. Nystagmus, accompanied by déviation conjugnée of the eyes and violent mouth of the head in the direction opposite to paralysis, in ordinary cranial hemiplegia, is also made dependent by the author on the supranuclear centers, in which he differs from Kpies, who attributes these phenomena to the defeat of the cortical centers.
