The reading scan was disturbed by saccadic intrusions and/or nystagmus. However, an ad hoc reading task demonstrated that deficits appeared only when the items that were displayed enhanced oculomotor requests. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Congenital oculomotor apraxia type Cogan II is characterized by impairment of horizontal voluntary eye movements and optokinetic nystagmus. Patients cannot perform horizontal eye movements for ocular fixation of an object. [neocyst.de]

Workup
We report a case of an atypical Cogan’s syndrome, the workup of the diagnosis, and treatment results. 2. [hindawi.com]
Only when drug effects have been ruled out should the workup proceed in a search for disease in the cerebellum and/or brainstem. Endpoint nystagmus refers to a minor gaze-holding deficit that should not be regarded as clinically important. [clicktocurecancer.info]
Discussion During diagnostic workup of autosomal recessive ataxias with oculomotor apraxia and/or sensorimotor neuropathy, the assessment of serum AFP might be useful because, if elevated, it narrows down the differential diagnosis list to AOA2 and ataxia [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
