Abstract

The accuracy and velocity of voluntary saccades together with the velocity of fact phases of nystagmus were studied in 26 patients belonging to 4 groups with defined neurological disorders. Patients with speech disorders of the dyspraxia type, indicating the lesion in the left frontal cortex, showed a pronounced decrease in saccadic accuracy in combination with normal saccadic and quick phase velocity. Patients with pontine disorders showed a significant decrease in the peak velocity of saccades and quick phases of nystagmus while the accuracy of the saccades ranged from normal to severely disturbed. Patients with acute meningo-encephalitis showed increases in peak velocity of saccades and of quick phases of nystagmus and the accuracy was somewhat reduced. Patients with a labyrinthine disease showed normal velocity of saccades and of quick phases as well as normal accuracy of saccades.

Acute Hemorrhagic Leukoencephalitis

Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis is a rare form of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis characterized by acute inflammation in the brain and spinal cord that causes demyelination and bleeding. It is often fatal, although treatment with immunosuppressives and plasma exchange can be helpful. Find the latest research on acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis here.
