Channel: Moran CORE
Date: 2018-02-08

Example of patient with spasm of the near reflex and voluntary nystagmus. Discussion of similar-looking conditions (e.g. six nerve palsy, limitation of abduction, lateral rectus muscle problems) and how to tell them apart from spasm of the near reflex by observing the myosis evoked by the near response and observing full ductions when leading the patient through directional gazes.
