It is my object in this paper to outline briefly, and as simply as possible, the present status of the knowledge of the physiology of vestibular nystagmus. [jamanetwork.com]

It presents as a jerk, mainly horizontal, nystagmus with a torsional component. It may be accompanied by vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss. Fixation inhibits the nystagmus. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Patients with peripheral vestibular nystagmus typically present with a sudden, sometimes dramatic, onset of dysequilibrium with vertigo, nausea, and vomiting ( Table 9-1 ). [aao.org]

Note should be made whether triggered nystagmus is present during visual fixation versus only present or increased with fixation blocked. [content.iospress.com]

• Macula

  It is most often due to inadequate image stimulation of the macula, leading to abnormal development of the ocular fixation reflex. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  This can occur after head trauma but is increasingly common with age where the otoliths are less securely anchored to the macula. [dartmouth.edu]

• Miosis

  Maintenance of convergence was verified by observing the position of the two eyes on the infrared video screen and by noting miosis associated with convergence. Encouragement was given frequently. [healio.com]

• Distractibility

  Saccadic intrusions and oscillations are rapid movements that take the eye away from the target during attempted fixation in the absence of a novel distracting visual stimulus [ 130 ]. [content.iospress.com]

• Hyperactivity

  As the vestibular neuritis decreases the baseline tonic activity of the affected (right) 8th cranial nerve, there is relative hyperactivity involving the left 8th cranial nerve, which leads to the false perception of leftward head turning. [collections.lib.utah.edu]

Nystagmus Treatments Treatment for nystagmus depends on the underlying cause. Some medications may help ease the visual discomfort of persistent nystagmus; your doctor can recommend them if they are likely to help you. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

Once that is determined, repositioning treatments such as the Epley maneuver can remove the otoconia from that semicircular canal. [aao.org]

Patients using the home treatment device had no evidence of nystagmus in post-treatment Dix-Hallpike maneuvers at 1 week in 88 % of cases. This rate was comparable to standard treatment. There were no significant complications. [aetna.com]

The visual prognosis is reasonably good, but if the head turn is excessive, extraocular muscle surgery may be needed. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

The authors concluded that the results of the study suggested that CHAMP measurement may be useful for determining the prognosis of patients with ALFHL without vertigo. [aetna.com]

Management will depend on the underlying cause of the sensory deficit, as will the prognosis. Neurological nystagmus Neurological disease can present with many forms of nystagmus. Babies tend to present before 2 months of age. [patient.info]

If unidirectional nystagmus is seen beating to the left, a head impulse to the right must be seen to reassure the clinician that this is a peripheral etiology. [collections.lib.utah.edu]

A fourth clinical setting for the occurrence of peripheral vestibular dysfunction is a toxic etiology, primarily the use of aminoglycosides (but also other medications such as chemotherapeutics). [aao.org]

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]

This hypothesis is supported by the analysis of epidemiological data that show a correlation of the incidence of the syndrome with the anatomical length of the central myelin [ 99 ]. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

The presumed pathophysiology for the upbeating nystagmus is thought to be the opposite of that for the downbeating nystagmus. [fadavispt.mhmedical.com]

Because Frenzel lenses prevent visual fixation, they must be removed to assess visual fixation. Caloric stimulation of the ear canal induces nystagmus in a person with an intact vestibular system. [merckmanuals.com]

When pathologic, jerk nystagmus prevents steady visual fixation. It classically begins with a slow drift of the eyes taking the line of sight away from the object of regard before it is brought back toward the object of regard with the fast phase. [content.iospress.com]

Differential diagnosis Nystagmus should be distinguished from inappropriate saccades that prevent steady fixation (eg, ocular flutter). [patient.info]
