trastornos de los movimientos oculares
Scope note: Trastornos que se caracterizan por la disfunción de los movimientos oculares como manifestación primaria de la enfermedad. Estas afecciones pueden dividirse en trastornos infranucleares, nucleares y supranucleares. Las enfermedades de los músculos del ojo o de los nervios craneales oculomotores (III, IV y VI) se consideran infranucleares. Los trastornos nucleares son originados por enfermedades de los núcleos oculomotores, trocleares o abducens en el TRONCO CEREBRAL. Los trastornos supranucleares son producidos por la disfunción de los sistemas sensoriales y motores de orden superior que controlan los movimientos oculares, incluidas las redes neurales de la CORTEZA CEREBRAL, GANGLIOS BASALES, CEREBELO y TRONCO CEREBRAL. El tortícolis ocular se refiere a una torsión de la cabeza que es producida por una mala alineación ocular. El opsoclono se refiere a oscilaciones rápidas y conjugadas de los ojos en múltiples direcciones, que pueden ocurrir como una afección parainfecciosa o paraneoplásica (por ejemplo, el SÍNDROME DE OPSOCLONÍA-MIOCLONÍA).

Scope note: Disorders that feature impairment of eye movements as a primary manifestation of disease. These conditions may be divided into infranuclear, nuclear, and supranuclear disorders. Diseases of the eye muscles or oculomotor cranial nerves (III, IV, and VI) are considered infranuclear. Nuclear disorders are caused by disease of the oculomotor, trochlear, or abducens nuclei in the BRAIN STEM. Supranuclear disorders are produced by dysfunction of higher order sensory and motor systems that control eye movements, including neural networks in the CEREBRAL CORTEX; BASAL GANGLIA; CEREBELLUM; and BRAIN STEM. Ocular torticollis refers to a head tilt that is caused by an ocular misalignment. Opsoclonus refers to rapid, conjugate oscillations of the eyes in multiple directions, which may occur as a parainfectious or paraneoplastic condition (e.g., OPSOCLONUS-MYOCLONUS SYNDROME).
