Abstract
Typical roving eye movements (pendular deviations of the bulbi) were observed in a 41-year-old patient with bilateral symmetrical softenings in the anterior thalamic region. They constantly appeared after lid closure with a mean latency of 7.3 sec. The mean frequency was 0.25 cps, the mean amplitude 30°. The phenomenon of roving eye movement is discussed with regard to the supranuclear structures regulating binocular eye movements. Typische Pendeldeviationen wurden bei einer 41jährigen Patientin mit bilateral-symmetrischen Erweichungen in der anterioren Thalamusregion beobachtet. Sie traten konstant mit einer mittleren Latenz von 7,3 sec nach Lidschluß auf. Der Mittelwert der Frequenz betrug 0,25 Hz, der der Amplitude 30°. Das Phänomen der Pendeldeviationen wird im Hinblick auf die supranukleären Strukturen zur Regulation von Augenbewegungen diskutiert.Keywords
