The diagnosis of ocular motor disorders and the different forms of a nystagmus is based on a systematic clinical examination of all types of eye movements: eye position, spontaneous nystagmus, range of eye movements, smooth pursuit, saccades, gaze-holding function, vergence, optokinetic nystagmus, as well as testing of the function of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and visual fixation suppression of the VOR. Relevant anatomical structures are the midbrain, pons, medulla, cerebellum, and cortex. There is a simple clinical rule: vertical and torsional eye movements are generated in the midbrain, horizontal in the pons.

Vibratory stimulation of the sternocleidomastoid muscles or the skull may enhance vestibular asymmetry and evoke nystagmus. We report prominent downbeating vibration-induced nystagmus (VIN) in a patient with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration due to cervical cancer with positive serum anti-Ri antibody. A 47-year-old woman developed spontaneous upbeat nystagmus present with and without visual fixation.

The key to the diagnosis of ocular motor disorders is a systematic clinical examination of the different types of eye movements, including eye position, spontaneous nystagmus, range of eye movements, smooth pursuit, saccades, gaze-holding function, vergence, optokinetic nystagmus, as well as testing of the function of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and visual fixation suppression of the VOR. This is like a window which allows you to look into the brain stem and cerebellum even if imaging is normal. Relevant anatomical structures are the midbrain, pons, medulla, cerebellum and rarely the cortex.

Nystagmus is defined as rhythmic, most often involuntary eye movements. It normally consists of a slow (pathological) drift of the eyes, followed by a fast central compensatory movement back to the primary position (refixation saccade). The direction, however, is reported according to the fast phase.
