Acute spasm and involuntary deviation or fixation of the eyes in an upward gaze; associated with dystonia from antipsychotic or antiemetic medications.
An abnormal condition in which the eyes are held in a fixed position for several minutes or hours. Oculogyric crises may occur in cases of post-encephalitic parkinsonism or as a result of a medication reaction.
A spasm of involuntary deviation and fixation of the eyeballs, usually upward, often occurring as an adverse reaction to the use of phenothiazine medications. It may last for only several minutes or for hours. This condition is a dystonic reaction.
A condition characterized by the eyes being immobilized, typically in an upward direction, for minutes or even hours. This episode can be accompanied by muscle spasms affecting the tongue, mouth, and neck, often originating from heightened stress levels. It might manifest subsequent to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), appear in cases of parkinsonism (a movement disorder), or be provoked by medications like phenothiazine derivatives.
