Eye movement abnormalities in neurodegenerative disorders.

Disorder Oculomotor findings
Parkinson’s disease Increased saccade latency, decreased saccade amplitude, increased anti-saccade error rate (53, 55, 56)
Diplopia in up to 20% (58)
Convergence insufficiency (57)
Increased convergence and divergence latency (60)
SCA3 Ophthalmoplegia, lid retraction, diplopia (74, 77)
Strabismus in up to 83% (78)
Divergence insufficiency (77)
SCA6 Diplopia in up to 50% (84)
Vertical nystagmus, horizontal gaze-evoked nystagmus (85)
Huntington disease Increased saccade latency, decreased saccade velocity, increased anti-saccade error rate (9194)
Multiple system atrophy Blepharospasm, square-wave jerks (97)
Rare reports of vergence paresis resulting in diplopia (99)
Progressive supranuclear palsy Slow vertical saccades, vertical gaze palsy (100)
Square-wave jerks (101)
Corticobasal degeneration Asymmetric saccadic apraxia, increased saccade latency, increased anti-saccade error (106, 107)
Dementia with Lewy bodies Increased saccadic latency, increased anti-saccade error rate (110, 111) Case reports of supranuclear gaze palsy (112)
