Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks a lot Sue. That sounds as if it fits the bill but I'm afraid I'm still confused about how the description relates to what I presume to be oculocephalic manoeuvres. The two " doll's eye " responses are observed individually rather than compared. Or is it just that " preference " is a conventional way of saying one is positive and the other one negative? Sorry to flaunt my ignorance. All the best Owen At 10:26 06/02/2006 -0000, you wrote: > >Hello Owen, > >I should think it means " right gaze preference " .

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Owen, these are two different observations in the neurological examination. First of all the oculocephalic manoeuvre tests for the oculocephalic reflex or doll's eye movements. http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/cache/- 1160773615.htm Gaze preference or deviation refers to the position of the eyes when the head is not being moved. Does that help? It's true it's a bit confusing. I'm sure there must be a detailed description of a complete neurological examination on the internet somewhere. I'll see what I can find. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 This is quite a good article on the neurological examination of the unconscious patient. See the section on ocular motility. http://jnnp.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/71/suppl_1/i13 Here is a DIY neurological examination ;-) The part relevant to your question is under cranial nerves, extraocular movements. http://www.neuroexam.com/ Have fun!
