Sixty ET patients and 60 age-matched controls were studied using a video-based eye tracker to assess binocular eye position. Oculomotor function was assessed while subjects followed random horizontally and vertically step-displaced targets. In contrast to normally swift onset and efficient acceleration/deceleration movements, saccades in ET patients were characterized by abnormally prolonged latencies and slowed velocity profiles. This study demonstrated the presence of novel oculomotor deficits in patients with ET, which are distinct from the eye movement dysfunctions of other movement disorders. The findings support a role of cerebellar dysfunction in disease pathogenesis.
