Presentation
However, pendular and triangular waveforms may also be present. The nystagmus may rarely be vertical. [malacards.org]
If a child’s presentation does not precisely fulfill the criteria for congenital motor nystagmus, neuroradiologic testing is necessary. Spasmus nutans. Spasmus nutans is acquired, typically presenting between the ages of 3 and 15 months. [aao.org]
The nystagmus may be present at birth. Systemic Features: No systemic disease is present. Genetics No specific mutation has been found but 3 individuals in one family shared a haplotype suggesting a locus at 7p11.2. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Workup
Recommended lab workup includes TORCH titers, VDRL, serum calcium and phosphorus levels and urine for reducing substance. Additional systemic workup should be done in coordination with the pediatrician. [eyewiki.aao.org]
It is necessary for this kind of nystagmus to perform a complete neurological and endocrinological workup. [intechopen.com]
Treatment
To identify relevant publications, a PubMed search using the terms “treatments of cerebellar ataxias,” “degenerative cerebellar ataxia treatment,” and “treatment of hereditary cerebellar ataxia” was conducted. [movementdisorders.org]
Food and Drug Administration has chosen Wave Life Sciences’ planned phase 2/3 study of suvodirsen, its lead experimental therapy for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, to break new ground. [globalgenes.org]
Treatment Treatment Options: There is no effective cure for congenital nystagmus but some patients can benefit from extraocular muscle surgery, correction of refractive errors, and low vision aids. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Prognosis The course and prognosis of pediatric cataracts is highly variable. The likelihood and rate of progression is very difficult to predict. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Prognosis XLOA is not life threatening. The reduced visual acuity and the social consequences of albinism can however have an impact on a patient's daily life. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
Prognosis: Reduced vision to the 20/60 to 20/100 range is common. In the absence of other ocular abnormalities, it is a non-progressive condition. There is no systemic disease in idiopathic congenital nystagmus. [wohproject.org]
Etiology
CCA was defined as an SCA of unknown etiology with imaging evidence of isolated cerebellar atrophy. [movementdisorders.org]
Abstract Background: Most patients with pure nonprogressive congenital cerebellar ataxia have a sporadic form of unknown heredity and etiology. [neurology.org]
Etiology The causes of infantile cataracts have been the source of much speculation and research. Making a distinction between unilateral and bilateral cataracts may be useful when considering etiology. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Etiology XLOA is caused by a mutation in the G-protein coupled receptor 143 GPR143 gene located at Xp22.3 that encodes for a membrane glycoprotein found in melanosomes. [orpha.net]
Etiology Congenital Disease/Diagnosis Familial Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome Treatment Surgical procedures for congenital nystagmus are discussed in ref 8 References 1.. [collections.lib.utah.edu]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology The estimated birth prevalence is from 1/60,000 to 1/150,000 live male births. Clinical description Nystagmus, sometimes associated with head nodding, usually develops in affected males within the first 3 months of life. [orpha.net]
Summary: RPE65-associated Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) EPIDEMIOLOGY 1 of 81,000 births have LCA RPE65 accounts for 8% of these SIGNS Poor fixation as an infant Nystagmus Eye rubbing (Oculodigital reflex) Keratoconus Pink disks Sluggish pupils Variable [eyerounds.org]
Epidemiology Frequency United States At present, aniridia strikes 1 in 60,000 individuals; in Canada, this would represent only 475 individuals based on a present population of 28.5 million. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology The exact incidence and prevalence of nystagmus is not known but it is thought to occur in about 1 in 1,000 people. [patient.info]
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying nystagmus are poorly understood but it is anticipated that characterization of the FRMD7 gene and identification of novel nystagmus genes will provide insights into this condition and the functioning and development [tandfonline.com]
While this distinction may be conceptually correct, it does not always reflect the underlying pathophysiology. [aao.org]

Prevention
With early treatment and aggressive prevention of hypoglycemia, brain damage can be prevented. However, brain damage can occur in children with HI if their condition is not recognized or if treatment is ineffective in the prevention of hypoglycemia. [congenitalhi.org]
