Abstract
|

|
|
Ocular contrapulsion refers to a syndrome of static ocular deviation and saccadic hypermetria toward the intact side, and saccadic h /pometria and impaired smooth pursuit toward the lesion side. It has been reported in patients with lesions in the i ostral cerebellum and caudal medullary hemorrhge. We report a 60-year-old man who showed ocular contrapulsion with unilateral upper medial medullary infarction. Ocular contrapulsion may be a sign of medial medullary infa --tion. In our patient, the climbing fibers may be damaged before crossing the midline in the upper medulla.
