Résumé
Opsoclonus and ocular flutter are saccadic intrusions characterized by spontaneous, back-to-back, fast eye movements (saccades) that oscillate about the midline of central visual fixation without intervening inter-saccadic intervals. When this type of movement occurs exclusively in the horizontal plane, it is called ocular flutter. When it occurs in multiple planes (i.e. horizontal, vertical, and torsional) it is called opsoclonus. The most common etiologic categories are parainfectious and paraneoplastic diseases. Less common are toxic-metabolic, traumatic, or idiopathic origins. The mechanism of these movements relates to dysfunction of brainstem and cerebellar machinery involved in the generation of saccades. In this review, we discuss the characteristics of opsoclonus and ocular flutter, describe approaches to clinical evaluation and management of the patient with opsoclonus and ocular flutter, and review approaches to therapeutic intervention. Recent publications demonstrated eye position-dependent opsoclonus present only in left gaze, which may be related to dysfunction of frontal eye fields or structures in the cerebellar vermis. Opsoclonus and ocular flutter originate from a broad array of neuropathologies and have value from both a neuroanatomic and etiologic perspective.
