I have been trying to look up the name of this eye movement, but have not had any luck. Any of you that have experience with this, please chime in.
Pt had massive global stroke, younger 50ish. I was reading the notes before I got this transfer and it stated that there was no herniation as of yet, but without surgery the MD's thought that it was likely that the brain would herniate.
When I recieved the pt, her eyes were moving like you were reading a book. It didn't matter if you opened her eye lids or if the lids were closed, her eyes were still moving back and forth like reading a book. I know this is a sign of brain damage, but would like to know the technical term for it if anyone knows what I am talking about.
Thanks!
