📋Overview
Oculomotor apraxia, Cogan type, is a legacy term historically used to describe a disorder characterized by difficulty initiating voluntary horizontal eye movements (saccades). It is now recognized as part of a broader group of disorders involving impaired eye movement control, often linked to congenital or acquired neurological conditions affecting the brainstem or cerebellum. The modern approach focuses on identifying underlying causes rather than using the eponym.
