Forced Upgaze
Forced Upgaze
Tonic upward gaze deviation, forced upgaze, may be seen in coma after diffuse hypoxic-ischemic brain injury with relative sparing of the brainstem. Forced upgaze may also be psychogenic, in which case it is overcome by cold caloric stimulation of the ear drums. Forced upgaze must be differentiated from oculogyric crisis.
