Abstract
• A total of 32 consecutively encountered patients, comatose from sedativehypnotic drug overdose, were studied by caloric (oculovestibular) testing with ice water. A variety of induced lateral eye movements was observed. The most striking finding was that the induced lateral eye movements were followed (in 24 of 32 cases) by delayed forced downward deviation of one or both eyes. The phenomenon of forced downward ocular deviation during oculovestibular testing of comatose patients should suggest the diagnosis of sedative-hypnotic drug overdose.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
