Extraocular muscles in patients with infantile nystagmus: adaptations at the effector level.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the extraocular muscles (EOMs) of patients with infantile nystagmus have muscular and innervational adaptations that may have a role in the involuntary oscillations of the eyes. METHODS Specimens of EOMs from 10 patients with infantile nystagmus and postmortem specimens from 10 control subjects were prepared for histologic examination. The following varia...
متن کاملThe Benefits of Extraocular Muscle Surgery in Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome
The following summary is written in response to the reports of patients whose physicians have made uninformed or erroneous comments to them regarding the efficacy of extraocular muscle (EOM) surgery for the improvement of visual function in patients with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). Also included are the results of studies demonstrating that the four-muscle tenotomy and reattachment (T&R...
متن کاملExtraocular proprioception and new treatments for infantile nystagmus syndrome.
Our goal is to develop the proprioceptive hypothesis for nystagmus damping; and present the resulting therapies for the treatment of infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) and acquired nystagmus. Contact lenses, cutaneous stimulation, and neck-muscle vibration damped INS. Four-muscle tenotomy and reattachment was hypothesized as a treatment for INS in 1979 and successfully demonstrated to improve f...
متن کاملAbnormally Small Neuromuscular Junctions in the Extraocular Muscles From Subjects With Idiopathic Nystagmus and Nystagmus Associated With Albinism
PURPOSE Infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) is often associated with abnormalities of axonal outgrowth and connectivity. To determine if this manifests in extraocular muscle innervation, specimens from children with idiopathic INS or INS and albinism were examined and compared to normal age-matched control extraocular muscles. METHODS Extraocular muscles removed during normal surgery on childr...
متن کاملEffects of extraocular muscle surgery on 15 patients with oculo-cutaneous albinism (OCA) and infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS).
PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to characterize the clinical and electrophysiological effects of extraocular muscle surgery in 15 patients with oculo-cutaneous albinism (OCA) and infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). Our hypothesis is that surgery on the extraocular muscles of patients with OCA and INS changes their nystagmus and their visual function. DESIGN Interventional, prospective, ...
