Early studies of the development of oculomotor control in human infants relied on descriptions of eye movements. Recently, studies have been carried out using eye movement recording techniques typically used with adults. This review first considers the limitations of such techniques, especially as they are used with human infants, and then discusses the results of recent studies of human oculom...

An online PubMed database search was conducted using the following algorithm: ('papaverine'[All Fields] OR 'papaverine'[MeSH Terms] 'papaverine'[All Fields]) AND ('intracisternal'[All Fields]. Only articles that attributed oculomotor nerve palsy solely to intracisternal Papaverine were further analysed.

Many individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) report reading problems of oculomotor origin. These may include frequent loss of place, skipping of lines and difficulty shifting to the next line of print. We describe two protocols for the testing and training of reading-related eye movements in adult individuals with ABI (traumatic brain injury [TBI] and stroke with hemianopia), who experienc...

A patient with ophthalmoplegic migraine developed aberrant regeneration of the oculomotor nerve. This finding supports the view that the oculomotor nerve lesion in ophthalmoplegic migraine is peripheral, but its rarity suggests that the underlying mechanism may be ischaemic rather than compression by an oedematous intracavernous internal carotid artery.
