Two post-operative cases of ocular flutter with electro-oculographic recordings are reported. In both cases, the lesion was unique and restricted, suggesting that a cerebellar damage was responsible for this abnormal eye movement. In both cases, ocular flutter was directed toward the healthy side. Therefore it is suggested that flutter may result from a focal cerebellar lesion and in that case be an oriented eye movement.
