HOME Nystagmus is generally described as an involuntary movement of the eyes, which reduces vision. The movement is usually side to side (but can be up and down or circular motion) and can be either jerk or pendular. (See this site for animations that shows the difference www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/3699/Appear.html ). Nystagmus is neither contagious or infectious, but it is thought to sometimes be hereditary. Normal (physiological) nystagmus occurs for example when a passenger of a train watches as telegraph poles pass the window. His/her eyes will travel one way, and then jerk in the opposite direction to begin watching the next pole. There are over 40 different types of nystagmus ( www.theberries.ns.ca/BOTW_archives/nystagmus ) but the main division is between Congenital and Acquired Nystagmus. Congenital nystagmus is thought to be present at birth, but is usually not apparent until the baby is a few months old. Acquired nystagmus occurs later than 6 months of age, and can be caused by a stroke, disease such as multiple sclerosis, or even a heavy blow to the head.

    Extractions: What is Nystagmus? *Congenital Nystagmus* Causes of Nystagmus Effects of Nystagmus and Social Implications ... HOME It is not clear whether congenital nystagmus is actually present at birth, or whether it occurs early in the child's vision development. It is therefore also referred to as early-onset or infantile nystagmus. Many children with nystagmus have no other vision or brain problems. This is known as idiopathic, which means of unknown cause. However, nystagmus is often a symptom of other conditions such as albinism, aniridia, cataracts, cone dysfunction and many others. Nystagmus can be present with cerebral palsy, Down's Syndrome and many motor system diseases. A type of congenital nystagmus is latent nystagmus, and is only present when one eye is covered. This is not usually noticed until the first visit to the optician. It is not known how many people suffer from nystagmus, but it is thought to be 1 in 1000 adults, and 1 in 640 children, according to the Nystagmus Network. Despite all the associated problems, many nystagmus sufferers are able to lead normal, independent lives.

Considerations Return to top Nystagmus refers to rapid involuntary movements of the eyes that may be from side to side (horizontal nystagmus), up and down (vertical nystagmus) or rotary. Depending on the cause, these movements may be in both eyes or in just one eye. The term "dancing eyes" has been used in regional dialect to describe nystagmus. The involuntary eye movements of nystagmus are caused by abnormal function in the areas of the brain that control eye movements. The exact nature of these disorders is poorly understood. Nystagmus may be either congenital (present at birth) or may be acquired (caused by disease or injury later in life). CONGENITAL NYSTAGMUS Congenital nystagmus is more common than acquired nystagmus. It is usually mild, does not change in severity, and is not associated with any other disorder.

    Extractions: Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index N nystagmus Search nystagmus Nystagmus (nye-STAG-muss) refers to rapid rhythmic back-and-forth involuntary eye movements, usually side to side, rarely in the vertical plane. A very mild degree of nystagmus called micronystagmus is present normally in everyone. The eyes normally flutter back and forth very rapidly; the amplitude of the swings is very small, and cannot ordinarily be seen. This occurs so that the visual receptors in the retina can complete their refresh cycle after discharge. If this micronystagmus ever stops for an instant, you will see a strange tree-like pattern before your eyes which represents the blood vessels on the surface of the retina. Visible, abnormal nystagmus may be caused by abnormality of any one of the three basic mechanisms that regulate position and movement of the eyes: fixation (focusing on and tracking objects), conjugate gaze (keeping the eyes parallel so that the images coincide), or vestibular mechanisms (the balance organs). This last is easily demonstrated: spin around and around until you feel dizzy, then observe the temporary nystagmus of your own eyes caused by the vestibular stimulation of spinning. Nystagmus can sometimes be more pronounced and thus visible, or even disconcerting. Nystagmus can occur benignly with no evidence of any significant medical condition. The blind have a particular type of nystagmus, described as "roving." It is disconcerting for some to see, and is one of the reasons the blind may wear dark glasses. A newborn baby with visible roving about of the eyes or jerking nystagmus should definitely get immediate ophthalmologic attention, because this could indicate blindness or congenital cataract. Other causes of nystagmus include drug toxicity, notably some anti-seizure medications such as Dilantin® (phenytoin). It may also herald serious neurological disease, to include brain tumor.

    Extractions: Nystagmus is an involuntary jerking of the eye . Everyone has it to some extent, but it is usually abnormal when it occurs spontaneously (rather than being induced by gaze or positioning) or when looking at a stationary object. The degree of nystagmus varies greatly between people and even in the same person at different times. Some things (such as alcohol and other central nervous system depressants) accentuate it and make it more visible. In some people, it is clearly visible naturally. There are dozens of different kinds of nystagmus. One can easily see nystagmus in someone else by having that person close their eyes and spinning them around. After a few spins, have the person stop and open their eyes. A distinct jerking of the eyes from side to side will be seen: this is rotational nystagmus. Strobe lights also produce nystagmus. It is also a symptom of many diseases. Views Personal tools Navigation Search Toolbox Other languages Deutsch This page was last modified 11:47, 30 Apr 2004.

Congenital Nystagmus is that which exists from birth or soon after. Apparently, some Nystagmus is normal in an infant, but it should be investigated if it persists.

It can be hereditary but often it isn't. It can be the result of another condition (which is why, when the symptoms of Nystagmus are noted, the parents should see a doctor) or it can appear alone. Sometimes a cause can be attached to it, but for the most part, the reason for it remains unknown. Has Nystagmus been linked to Shaken Baby Syndrome?

    Extractions: Definition Rhythmic, oscillating motions of the eyes are called nystagmus. The to-and-fro motion is generally involuntary. Vertical nystagmus occurs much less frequently than horizontal nystagmus and is often, but not necessarily, a sign of serious brain damage. Nystagmus can be a normal physiological response or a result of a pathologic problem. Description The eyes play a critical role in maintaining balance. They are directly connected to other organs of equilibrium, most important of which is the inner ear. Paired structures called the semicircular canals deep in the skull behind the ears sense motion and relay that information to balance control centers in the brain. The eyes send visual information to the same centers. A third set of sensors consists of nerve endings all over the body, particularly in joints, that detect position. All this information is integrated to allow the body to navigate in space and gravity. It is possible to fool this system or to overload it with information so that it malfunctions. A spinning ride at the amusement park is a good way to overload it with information. The system has adapted to the spinning, expects it to go on forever, and carries that momentum for some time after it is over. Nystagmus is the lingering adjustment of the eyes to tracking the world as it revolves around them. Nystagmus can be classified depending upon the type of motion of the eyes. In pendular nystagmus the speed of motion of the eyes is the same in both directions. In jerk nystagmus there is a slow and fast phase. The eyes move slowly in one direction and then seem to jerk back in the other direction.

    Extractions: Nystagmus is an involuntary rhythmic shaking or wobbling of the eyes. The term nystagmus is derived from the Greek word, "nmstagmos", which was used to describe the wobbly head movements of a sleepy or inebriated individual. Nystagmus has also been described as "dancing eyes" or "jerking eyes". Doctors and researchers classify nystagmus by the characteristics of the eye movements like do they move back and forth like a pendulum or do they move slowly in one direction and then rapidly in another? Do the eyes move laterally or vertically and by how much? How fast do the eyes move? There are various methods of classifying nystagmus. Traditionally nystagmus has been divided into two groups. Sensory nystagmus is related to vision loss and motor nystagmus is related to the control of muscle function. There are over 45 types of nystagmus. To simplify our explanation of nystagmus, we will divide nystagmus into two basic types. The first is nystagmus that begins very early in life and is associated with vision loss. The second is called acquired nystagmus and is associated with neurological disorders occurring later in life. Nystagmus from Early in Life Early onset nystagmus often accompanies vision loss acquired at birth or soon after and may be one of the first signs that a child has a loss of vision. Studies suggest 1 in every 1000 children have nystagmus. In 80-90% of cases, it is a side effect of vision loss from eye diseases such as albinism, aniridia, optic nerve hypoplasia, achromatopsia congenital cataracts, coloboma or retinopathy of prematurity. This type of nystagmus is usually observed around the sixth to eighth week of life and is rarely seen before then. In about 10-20% of cases, it presents with mild vision loss not associated with other diagnosed ocular diseases. The discovery of nystagmus in a child is reason for an immediate examination!
