DISORDERS OF OCULOMOTOR FUNCTION IN LESIONS OF THE OCCIPITAL LOBE

Abstract
"Two cases of defects in oculomotor activity are described. One followed occlusion of both posterior cerebral arteries; the other was associated with a calcified mass in one occipital lobe. The concept of the occipital oculomotor field is reviewed and the pertinent conflicting data are presented. It is concluded that the occipital lobe influences the function of the oculomotor apparatus." 17 references.
