Ocular flutter (OF) is a burst of to-and-fro horizontal saccades without an intersaccadic interval. OF has been considered to be a subtype of opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS). In fact, when these saccades are strictly horizontal they are called OF and when any direction they are called opsoclonus. In this case, they can be associated with myoclonus and truncal or limb ataxia forming opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. The most common aetiologies are paraneoplastic, postinfectious, multiple sclerosis, toxic-metabolic and idiopathic [1]. This disorder is due to a loss of omnipause neuron inhibition on burst neurons within the paramedian pontine reticular formation. When it occurs, the burst neurons produce an off-time saccadic eye movement [2]. …
