Pearls: Nystagmus

ABSTRACT

Nystagmus is a spontaneous, repetitive movement of the eyes caused by slow eye drifts. Clinical evaluation of nystagmus requires familiarity with the functional classes of eye movements, the types of acquired nystagmus and a differential diagnosis for each type, and the ability to differentiate acquired nystagmus from infantile nystagmus and saccadic intrusions.

KEYWORDS

Nystagmus - oscillopsia - saccadic intrusions
