We report two women with ocular flutter and saccadic intrusions,documented by electro-oculography,who had complete spontaneous remission of their ocular motor findings prior to the appearance of a primary neoplastic process remote from the nervous system.Transient elevation of blood HVA and VMA levels was detected in one patient who subsequently had breast cancer.These cases indicate that spontaneous remission of saccadic oscillations does not necessarily imply a benign outcome.Patients with this ocular motor abnormality should be followed closely for signs of a remote neoplasm even if initial investigation is negative. |
