Presentation
However, pendular and triangular waveforms may also be present. The nystagmus may rarely be vertical. [malacards.org]
Clinical presentation [ edit ] In the recessive form corneal clouding is observed at birth or within the neonatal period, nystagmus is often present, but no photophobia or epiphora is seen. [en.wikipedia.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]
This mutation was identified in both affected individuals and was present in the mother, but was absent in the father and in all control subjects. The FRMD7 p.G296C mutation is not present in any single nucleotide polymorphism database. [spandidos-publications.com]

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
Treatment Treatment Options: Nystagmus cannot be cured. However, there are several treatments that can help. Glasses and contact lenses, and, occasionally, extraocular muscle surgery may be helpful. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
The third section, New Therapies for Congenital Nystagmus, presents basic genetic studies and clinical trials of drug and surgical treatment of those patients with infantile forms of nystagmus. [books.google.com]

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]
Diagnosis and Prognosis: While no curative treatment is available for infantile onset idiopathic congenital nystagmus, it is important to obtain thorough ophthalmological, medical and neurological evaluations. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Etiology
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]
Prognosis Nystagmus intensity (frequency x amplitude) often improves spontaneously with increasing age but depends on etiology. [emedicine.medscape.com]

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]
Epidemiology Frequency United States In one US study, the annual incidence of pediatric nystagmus was estimated to be 6.72 per 100,000 persons younger than 19 years, with infantile nystagmus comprising 87% of the study patients. [2] Mortality/Morbidity [emedicine.medscape.com]

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]
Pathophysiology Few patients are noted to have nystagmus onset at birth. The term infantile is probably more accurate than congenital and includes nystagmus that presents within the first 6 months of life. [emedicine.medscape.com]
While this distinction may be conceptually correct, it does not always reflect the underlying pathophysiology. [aao.org]
The pathophysiologic basis for decussation of retinal axons is an area of active research. Pathfinding of retinal axons at the optic chiasm is incompletely understood at this time. [ajnr.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]

This helps prevent the retina from being pulled away (detached) from the outer lining by the abnormal vessels. [opt.uh.edu]
