| | Nystagmus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In medicine, the clinical importance of nystagmus is that it indicates that the patient's spatial sensory system perceives rotation and is rotating the eyes to adjust. | | | Congenital nystagmus is usually non-treatable, but several therapeutic approaches, such as contact lenses, drugs, surgery, and low vision rehabilitation can be used in order to improve visual function. | | | One can accurately think of nystagmus as the combination of a slow adjusting eye movement (slow phase) like would be seen with the vestibulo-ocular reflex, followed by a quick saccade (quick phase) when the eye has reached the limit of its rotation. |

| | Upbeat nystagmus and the ventral tegmental pathway of the upward vestibulo-ocular reflex. | | | If the nystagmus does not follow these characteristics, it is likely not peripheral vestibular, or there may also be other problems superimposed with the oculomotor system or central pathways. | | | Nystagmus is defined as involuntary movement of the eyes. |

| | Nystagmus |
| | Nystagmus patients often experience fluctuations in their vision. | | | Unlike nystagmus acquired from early in life, patients with late onset nystagmus usually notice movement in their vision related to the movement of their eyes. | | | Sensory nystagmus is related to vision loss and motor nystagmus is related to the control of muscle function. |

| | Nystagmus can be found in some families as an isolated problem, not associated with other conditions. | | | Some forms of nystagmus are associated with reduced vision, such as occurs in extreme near or farsighted people or in those with scars in the retina or optic nerve. | | | Diagnosis is made clinically based on the medical history and physical examination. |

| | eMedicine - Nystagmus, Acquired : Article by Christopher M Bardorf, MD, MS |
| | This type of nystagmus can be accentuated by otolithic stimulation by placing the patient on their side where the intact side is down (eg, if the lesion is on the left, the nystagmus is accentuated when the patient is placed on his right side). | | | This condition may occur when the tone within the pathways of the posterior semicircular canals is relatively higher than the tone within the anterior semicircular canals, and it can occur from lesions of the ventral tegmental tract or the brachium conjunctivum, which carry optokinetic input from the anterior semicircular canals to the third nerve nuclei. | | | Extraocular muscle surgery for correction of nystagmus is based on surgically shifting the null zone into primary position. |

| | Congenital nystagmus in this study was successfully ameliorated by the application of varying modalities involving auriculotherapy. | | | Auriculotherapy is a branch of acupuncture in which the various parts of the body, including the oculomotor muscles, have a point of influence on the external ear. | | | Current therapy for congenital nystagmus is divided into 2 categories: the 1st category consists of measures to reduce the nystagmus itself. |

| | Though it does not appear to be standard medical practice to test nystagmus patients for nutritional deficiencies, based on the evidence this would seem like a highly logical consideration. | | | Though it does not seem to be well known, there is a significant body of medical research linking nystagmus to magnesium and/or thiamin deficiencies. | | | This is what spurred me to research the condition. |

| | nystagmus |
| | Normally the eyes remain in the position of primary gaze, even when a person is not deliberatedly focusing on any visual target directly ahead, because of balanced input from the left-and-right vestibular systems, which are finely tuned to respond to any movement of the head relative to the body. | | | Disclaimer: My EM guidemaps reflect my personal approach to problem-solving/managing clinical cases in an ED setting and they should not be regarded as the standard of care. | | | (* note that this guidemap is very selective in its presentation of information on nystagmus, and that it does not deal with latent nystagmus or congenital nystagmus => this guidemap is primarily focused on providing basic problem-solving information on acquired nystagmus in adult patients and older children) |

| | Nystagmus can occur benignly with no evidence of any significant medical condition. | | | Other causes of nystagmus include drug toxicity, notably some anti-seizure medications such as Dilantin® (phenytoin). | | | Visible, abnormal nystagmus may be caused by abnormality of any one of the three basic mechanisms that regulate position and movement of the eyes: fixation (focusing on and tracking objects), conjugate gaze (keeping the eyes parallel so that the images coincide), or vestibular mechanisms (the balance organs). |
