Answer 24-3. With diffuse cerebral cortical dysfunction you would expect to find normal dysinhibited oculovestibulor reflex eye movement to caloric testing. Motor findings and responses would be the same on both sides of the body (symmetrical). It is critical to be sure that there is no structural damage to the reticular formation. This is accomplished by determining whether eye movements are affected (extraocular nuclei are close to reticular formation).
