Torsional nystagmus in hypothalamic hamartoma.
نویسنده
چکیده
Torsional nystagmus was noted in a patient with hypothalamic hamartoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an exophytic hypothalamic mass extending into the pre-pontine cistern and abutting ventral mesencephalon. The quickphase of the torsional nystagmus was directed towards the left side, ipsilateral to the side of compression by the hamartoma. Ipsi-lesionally directed pure torsional nystagmus in this case is attributed to the compressive lesion of ocular motor structures responsible for the neural integration of torsional and vertical eye movements, the interstitial nucleus of Cajal.

We measured eye rotations in three planes in a patient with acquired, torsional nystagmus. This nystagmus had linear or increasing-velocity waveforms, was increased after active pitch rotations of the head, and was suppressed by convergence. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a midpontine lesion that was probably a venous angioma. We postulate that torsional nystagmus in this patient was d...

The association of internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) with torsional nystagmus is rare. We report the case of a 63-year-old man presenting with sudden onset of diplopia. On ocular examination, he had left INO and a torsional nystagmus with counter-clockwise quick-phases from the patient's point of view in the primary position, ipsiversive to the side of the medical longitudinal fasciculus (MLF)...
