Magnetic Oculomotor Prosthetics for Acquired Nystagmus
PURPOSE Acquired nystagmus, a highly symptomatic consequence of damage to the substrates of oculomotor control, often is resistant to pharmacotherapy. Although heterogeneous in its neural cause, its expression is unified at the effector-the eye muscles themselves-where physical damping of the oscillation offers an alternative approach. Because direct surgical fixation would immobilize the globe...
متن کاملVertical acquired pendular nystagmus: oculomotor findings, localizing value and pathophysiology
OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of the localizing value and pathogenesis of vertical APN through examination of patients with this nystagmus form and different diagnosis. DESIGN: Three patients with vertical APN with different diseases (brainstem infarct, brainstem encephalitis and brainstem haemorrhage), but with similar topic of lesions, are presented. For registration of the nystagmus AC-electrooculo...
متن کاملAcquired Periodic Alternating Nystagmus
대한신경과학회지 22권 5호 548 Periodic alternating nystagmus (PAN) is a rare type of spontaneous horizontal nystagmus, characterized by periodical reverse of direction with a transition period in between. PAN can occur in both congenital and acquired forms. We report a patient with acquired PAN associated with meningoencephalitis. To our knowledge, only a case of congenital PAN has been previously report...
متن کاملLatent nystagmus and acquired pendular nystagmus masquerading as spasmus nutans.
SUMMARY We used ocular motility recordings to identify the characteristics of a rare combination of conjugate, horizontal jerk, and pendular nystagmus in a 9-year-old boy. The clinical diagnoses were amblyopia, left esotropia, congenital nystagmus, and an apparently uniocular pendular nystagmus that mimicked spasmus nutans. Ocular motility recordings revealed an unusual latent/manifest latent n...
متن کاملOculomotor Neurocircuitry, a Structural Connectivity Study of Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome
Infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) is one of the leading causes of significant vision loss in children and affects about 1 in 1000 to 6000 births. In the present study, we are the first to investigate the structural pathways of patients and controls using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Specifically, three female INS patients from the same family were scanned, two sisters and a mother. Six regi...
