Contrapulsion of saccades and ipsilateral ataxia: a unilateral disorder of the rostral cerebellum

Annals of Neurology
P J Ranalli, J A Sharpe

Abstract

Contralateral pulsion of saccades and ipsilateral limb ataxia were manifestations of unilateral damage to the rostral cerebellum studied in a patient with occlusion of one superior cerebellar artery. The saccadic disorder consisted of three elements: horizontal saccades away from the lesion during attempted vertical saccades, resulting in oblique trajectories; hypermetria of contralateral saccades; and hypometria of ipsilateral saccades. Magnetic search coil oculography showed that durations of the horizontal components of oblique contrapulsive saccades were lengthened toward the durations of the vertical components. Lengthening of horizontal vectors indicated temporal coupling of the orthogonal components, as occurs in normal oblique saccades. The bias of saccades arose proximal to brainstem loci that decompose commands for oblique saccades into their horizontal and vertical vectors. Contrapulsion of saccades may be explained by imbalanced cerebellar outflow.

Ataxias

Ataxia is a neurological condition characterized by lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements including loss of coordination, balance, and speech. Discover the latest research on different types of ataxias here.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
