RESUMO
Oculomotor and oculovestibular functions in a patient who had undergone a left hemispherectomy were examined under a variety of visual and vestibular stimuli. The main findings were an inability to hold left eccentric gaze, resulting in gaze-evoked nystagmus to that side; inaccurate saccades to the right; defective smooth pursuit to the left; asymmetrical vestibulo-ocular responses (VOR) in the dark due to the interaction of the VOR with the "spasticity of conjugate gaze", decreased gain of the visuo-vestibulo-ocular reflexes to both sides, more marked to the right, when rotated fixating on a stationary wall target or the environment, due to abnormal smooth and optokinetic systems; and failure to inhibit the VOR when rotated to the left with visual fixation.

Case report of acute autonomic neuropathy. It is the twelfth case reported in literature and the second case associated to positive serological tests for infectious mononucleosis. We are reporting for the first time plasma renin activity, decrease response to repetitive pacing of the S-A node, insulin curve with radio-immunoassay and cardiac catheterization findings.
