A Guide To Nystagmus Acquired nystagmus can be caused by a disease (multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, diabetic neuropathy), an accident (head injury), or a neurological problem (side effect of a medication). Hyperventilation, a flashing light in front of one eye, nicotine and even vibrations have been known to cause nystagmus in rare cases.

- What is nystagmus? Nystagmus is a vision condition in which the eyes make repetitive, uncontrolled movements. These movements often result in reduced vision and depth perception and can affect balance and coordination. These involuntary eye movements can occur from side to side, up and down, or in a circular pattern.

Nystagmus The involuntary eye movements of nystagmus are caused by abnormal function in the areas of the brain that control eye movements. The part of the inner ear that senses movement and position (the labyrinth) helps control eye movements. Infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) is present at birth (congenital).

Congenital Nystagmus (Infantile Nystagmus) Congenital nystagmus (also known as infantile nystagmus) is a clinical sign that may take many different forms. Involuntary, rhythmic eye movements are characteristic, as they are in acquired nystagmus. Waveform, amplitude, and frequency can vary with changes in focal distance, direction of gaze, and under monocular or binocular viewing conditions.

- Causes. NYSTAGMUS THAT IS PRESENT AT BIRTH (infantile nystagmus syndrome, or INS). INS is usually mild. It does not become more severe, and it is not related to any other disorder. People with this condition are usually not aware of the eye movements, but other people may see them.

- Nystagmus is most commonly caused by a neurological problem that is present at birth or develops in early childhood. Acquired nystagmus, which occurs later in life, can be the symptom of another condition or disease, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis or trauma. Other causes of nystagmus include:

- Astigmatism. Astigmatism is a refractive eye disorder caused by a misshapen cornea at the front of the eye. A normal cornea is spherical in shape, but some people are born with a more oblong shaped cornea that projects two points of light on to the retina at the back of the eye.yperopia (Far Sightedness). Hyperopia or far sightedness is a refractive eye disorder caused by a shorter than normal eyeball or a flatter than usual cornea. Light entering the unaided eye comes to focus behind the retina, thus casting a blur circle on the retina itself.

A Guide To Nystagmus Nystagmus is usually infantile, meaning people have it from a very early age. 1  Experts say that about one child out of every several thousand has nystagmus. Different kinds of nystagmus include: 2  Manifest nystagmus. 3  Congenital nystagmus. 4  Manifest-latent nystagmus. 5  Acquired nystagmus. 6  Latent nystagmus.

A Guide To Nystagmus All forms of nystagmus are involuntary, meaning people with the condition cannot control their eyes. Nystagmus improves slightly as a person reaches adulthood; however, it worsens with tiredness and stress. Having nystagmus affects both vision and self-concept. Most people with nystagmus have some sort of vision limitations because the eyes continually sweep over what they are viewing, making it impossible to obtain a clear image.

Nystagmus Central nystagmus occurs as a result of either normal or abnormal processes not related to the vestibular organ. For example, lesions of the midbrain or cerebellum can result in up- and down-beat nystagmus.

Medicine in older adultsDizziness in older adults Nystagmus – this can help in differentiating between central and peripheral causes of vertigo. In peripheral vertigo, nystagmus is horizontal and unidirectional, with the fast phase away from the lesion; visual fixation inhibits the nystagmus. Tinnitus and deafness can be present. In central vertigo, nystagmus can be in any direction.

Nystagmus-Split Hand Syndrome The only consistent ocular finding is pendular nystagmus beginning at birth. There is some evidence that the eye movements decrease with age. Acuity in a 46 year old female was recorded to be 20/40 in each eye whereas one of her children had 20/70. Two patients (father and daughter) have been described as having cataracts and “fundus changes”, not further defined. Other patients have been described with normal fundi.

Vertigo 1 Later in pregnancy dizziness and vertigo may be caused by lying on the back, which allows the weight of the baby to press on a large vein (vena cava) that carries blood to the heart.  Anxiety or panic attacks may also cause people to feel the sensation of vertigo.

A Guide To Nystagmus People with inner ear problems can develop something called jerk nystagmus — the eyes drift slowly in one direction and then jerk back in the other direction. Because of the motion of the eyes, people with this condition can develop nausea and vertigo.

Vertigo Diagnosis The patient reports symptoms of vertigo while the physician looks for circular movement of the eyes (called nystagmus). A delay between the onset of nystagmus and the sensation of vertigo usually indicates a peripheral vestibular disorder. Lack of a delay may indicate a central vestibular disorder.

A Guide To Nystagmus By Burt Dubow, OD. Nystagmus most commonly causes the eyes to look involuntarily from side to side in a rapid, swinging motion rather than staying fixed on an object or person. Some nystagmuses, however, cause the eyes to jerk sideways or up and down. Aside from being a condition I see professionally, nystagmus also affects a very close friend of mine. So I can discuss this eye problem from several points of view. Nystagmus is usually infantile, meaning people have it from a very early age.

Congential Muscular Torticollis: An Overview After birth, torticollis may be caused by the infant spending too much time with his/her head turned one particular way. This may cause or may be due to head flattening (a form of plagiocephaly, which is described in greater detail below). The reported incidence of torticollis is 0.4%-2.0%.

Nystagmus There are two key forms of nystagmus: pathological and physiological, with variations within each type. Nystagmus may be caused by congenital disorders, acquired or central nervous system disorders, toxicity, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, or rotational movement.
