Vertical saccadic velocity determination in superior oblique palsy
A. L. Rosenbaum, M. R. Carlson and R. Gaffney
Vertical saccadic velocities were measured in various horizontal gaze
positions in patients with known superior oblique weakness and compared to
similar measurements in a normal control group. Marked slowing of the down
saccade in the adducted position occurred in the patients with superior
oblique weakness and not in the controls. This suggests that it is possible
to differentiate oblique and rectus function by saccadic velocity analysis.
