A patient with a subarachnoid haematoma anterior to the brain stem demonstrated "typical" ocular bobbing. The absence of CNS parenchymal involvement is distinct from previously described posterior fossa lesions associated with this particular eye movement disorder.

Myasthenic abduction mystagmus in a patient with hyperthyroidism.

Intravenous edrophonium chloride promptly stopped a sustained high frequency abduction nystagmus, supporting a diagnosis of myasthenia gravis in a patient with hyperthyroidism.
