Abstract

A case of thalidomide fetopathy is presented with several malformations, severe hearing loss, vestibular areflexia and horizontal gaze paresis. Smooth pursuit was possible only at low speed. Optokinetic responses were abnormal. The only clearly nystagmoidal response was elicited during monocular temporonasal stimulation of one eye.
