متن کاملNystagmus in infancy.
Spontaneous nystagmus in infants may be present at birth but more frequently appears in the first 6 months.' We present a classification in which nystagmus with an onset before 6 months is called early onset nystagmus (EON) and is divided into three categories: sensory defect nystagmus (SDN) in which there is a proven sensory impairment, congenital idiopathic nystagmus (CIN) (sometimes called '...
