A 36-year-old woman presented with vertical diplopia, nausea, and disequilibrium. Maddox rod testing was performed in the upright and supine positions (figures 1 and 2). Skew deviation is a vertical misalignment caused by a supranuclear lesion in the vertical vestibuloocular reflex pathways, including the vestibular nerve, brainstem, or cerebellum. It arises from perturbed utricular inputs, and...

Twenty-seven patients with unilateral sixth nerve palsy and ten normal subjects were studied. The range of ductions was examined and the degree of abduction defect was recorded. The amount of horizontal and vertical deviations was measured in nine diagnostic positions by the prism and cover test, Maddox rod and prism test, and magnetic scleral search coils. MRI with enhancement was performed fo...

He does not adequately examine the impacts of special cycling ...
