Question
With bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia and only one camera system, do we bypass oculomotor testing altogether?
Answer
The results will be of limited use because the movements of right and left eyes cannot be compared. Even if the rest of the oculomotor tests are completed, the overall interpretation will still denote a central lesion regardless of what the results of these test show.
