, 2.2.4. , Ocular bobbing and reverse ocular bobbing may be forms of single saccadic pulses [140]. The term direction-changing horizontal nystagmus [89, 120, 146] has been applied in this context to refer to spontaneous jerk nystagmus in straight-ahead gaze that changes directions in different gaze positions (though the term bilateral gaze-holding nystagmus (2.2.2). Shaikh A.G. Comment: Epileptic seizures can cause conjugate gaze deviations and skew deviation but can also cause nystagmus. Term not recommended: Ocular clonus, a term that has been used in criteria for serotonin toxicity [47] but is likely referring to ping-pong gaze [51, 77, 128]. commonly increases looking down and lateral in association with bilateral horizontal gaze-holding nystagmus to produce an oblique appearance. Pseudo-spontaneous nystagmus is therefore a form of positional nystagmus that happens to occur with the head in the neutral position and the eyes straight ahead, making it appear similar to horizontal spontaneous peripheral vestibular nystagmus (2.1.1.). , Fletcher W.A. , End-point nystagmus and ocular drift: An experimental and theoretical study, Vision Research 30 (1990), 863–877. , , Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010, pp. It is a rhythmic, involuntary, rapid, oscillatory movement of the eyes. Details. Although all frames of reference are equally valid, the frame of reference that most efficiently describes a given pathologic nystagmus is typically the one most closely linked to the mechanism or site causing the nystagmus; therefore, when describing the nystagmus, the examiner should specify the frame of reference being used, both to avoid ambiguity and to facilitate diagnosis. Klebig R.R. There are two general types. Kim J.H. It is usually associated with strong rebound nystagmus (2.2.4.). Sharpe J.A. associated with multiple sclerosis, oculopalatal tremor (2.1.3.2.1. It usually results from acute structural or physiologic lesions of the peripheral vestibular system affecting the labyrinth, vestibular ganglion, or vestibular nerve. Reinecke R.D. , 3.1. , Ward B.K. Caloric nystagmus: Vestibular nystagmus induced by irrigation of water or insufflation of air against the tympanic membrane that is different from body temperature. Sieben A. 2. Bender M.B. Such nystagmus should disappear by pitching the head forward 30° to place the horizontal canal in the horizontal plane with respect to gravity and should reverse directions by pitching forward even further. Fisher P.G. 2010 Oct-Dec;4(4):277-286. doi: 10.1590/S1980-57642010DN40400005. Jeong H.S. , If the condition causing PAN also impairs the brainstem mechanism for generating fast phases, patients may develop periodic alternating gaze deviation, consisting of horizontal conjugate deviation of the eyes alternating right and left approximately every 2 minutes. Van der Stigchel S. Bisdorff A. , Diagnostic criteria for central versus peripheral positioning nystagmus and vertigo: A review, Acta Oto-laryngologica 119 (1999), 1–5. , Congenital periodic alternating nystagmus. [a] Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA , The nystagmus may have any trajectory, but pure downbeat and pure horizontal forms are far more common than upbeat, torsional, or mixed forms [120]. , Alexander’s law: Its behavior and origin in the human vestibulo-ocular reflex, Annals of Neurology 16 (1984), 714–722. Mandala M. Specific recent advances in the study of nystagmus and saccadic intrusions include (1) improved understanding of the underlying etiologies and mechanisms of nystagmus enhanced or unmasked by provocative maneuvers such as supine position or head shaking; (2) recognition of the differences in behavior and treatment responsivity of acquired pendular nystagmus in demyelinating disease versus oculopalatal myoclonus; (3) recognition that oculopalatal myoclonus results from a dual mechanism of abnormal inferior olivary gap junction connection formation and maladaptive cerebellar learning; and (4) well-controlled clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of pharmacologic interventions, such as memantine for acquired pendular nystagmus and 4-aminopyridine for downbeat nystagmus. , Kim J. Daroff R.B. These are classified as slow eye movements. Involuntary Eye Movements • Saccadic intrusions – saccades are the culprit o With an intersaccadic interval (VIDEO) 29, no. ed., Wolters Kluwer Health, 2013. , Kim J.S. , 1013 BG Amsterdam Click here to study/print these flashcards . , Note should be made whether nystagmus is triggered by positive or negative pressure in the external ear canal. Demer J. Bronstein A.M. e´ (11) Immunoblotting with glycoprotein preparations from human eye muscle; 3. Nystagmus was linked to vestibular stimulation in the 19th century, and Mach, Breuer, and Crum Brown all described its fast and slow phases. , 2.3.7. Elevation and depression were markedly restricted in both eyes. Zee D.S. When it is purely vertical, the nystagmus may be present in upward gaze, downward gaze, or both. , Kaplan P.W. Like latent nystagmus, manifest latent nystagmus typically occurs with congenital strabismus and failed development of binocular vision (amblyopia). , Jerk seesaw nystagmus may be due to interruption of otolithic vestibular inputs to the interstitial nucleus of Cajal, which is responsible for vertical and torsional gaze holding, or due to impaired connections from the anterior and posterior semicircular canals on one side to the their oculomotor and trochlear nucleus targets in the midbrain [68, 126]. This term should not be used to describe the saccadic breakdown of impaired smooth pursuit in which saccades occur in the same direction as the intended pursuit of a moving target. That coordinate frame will typically provide not only the most parsimonious description but also the most intuitive model of the underlying pathology. D’Amico D. , Eye-referenced coordinates describe eye rotation around three axes that intersect at the center of the globe. in superior canal dehiscence syndrome, in which the nystagmus occurs in the plane of the affected canal). Saccadic intrusions should be distinguished from excessive distractibility, in which case novel but behaviorally irrelevant visual stimuli evoke inappropriate reflexive saccades. Hoyt W.F. , Incidence and anatomy of gaze-evoked nystagmus in patients with cerebellar lesions, Neurology 76 (2011), 361–365. Kaplan P.W. Bethesda, MD 20894, Copyright Buttner U. , Leigh R.J. Most nystagmus is binocular and should be presumed so unless specifically noted to be monocular. LA, left anterior; LP, left posterior; RA, right anterior; RP, right posterior; LARP, left anterior-right posterior; RALP, right anterior-left posterior; SCC, semicircular canal. The same is true for triggered forms of vestibular nystagmus. , Magnetic Vestibular Stimulation (MVS) As a Technique for Understanding the Normal and Diseased Labyrinth, Frontiers in Neurology 8 (2017), 122. Nuti D. Straumann D. Use of the terms “rotary” or “rotatory” is discouraged, since nearly all eye movements are technically “rotations” (i.e., angular movements of the eye rather than linear ones). Saccades are rapid eye movements that shift the line of sight between successive points of fixation [109]. Roberts D.C. The term gaze-paretic nystagmus should only be applied in cases of gaze-evoked nystagmus associated with paresis of gaze (from brainstem or hemispheric lesions or extraocular muscle weakness such as in myasthenia gravis). , Apogeotropic Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: Some Clinical and Therapeutic Considerations, Audiol Res 5 (2015), 130. FOIA , , Penlight-cover test: A new bedside method to unmask nystagmus, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry 80 (2009), 900–903. While by definition, affected patients experience positional vertigo or dizziness [156], occasionally patients with BPPN report few or no positional vestibular symptoms, but their positional nystagmus may resolve with repositioning maneuvers. Sharpe J.A. Intensity: The mathematical product of amplitude and frequency is velocity. , , Teaching Video NeuroImages: Alternating horizontal single saccadic pulses in progressive supranuclear palsy, Neurology 88 (2017), e32–e33. (F) Combined equal excitation of all three left canals causes a right-clockwise (from patient’s perspective) slow phase, the expected result of summing activity for each individual canal. For example, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo from the left posterior semicircular canal elicits eye movements about an axis parallel to the affected canal’s axis (which is approximately 45° from the anterior and left ends of the naso-occipital and interaural axes, respectively), regardless of the direction of gaze [38, 43]. [b] Department of Neurology, Centre Hospitalier Emile Mayrisch, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg Dieterich M. Since the movements of nystagmus are not typically confined to only rotations about one of the three cardinal anatomic axes (e.g., purely roll, pitch, or yaw rotations, respectively, about axes parallel to the anteroposterior, interaural, or superoinferior axes of the eye or head), each of the 3 directional components should be described, along with the coordinate system (e.g., “with respect to the head”, “with respect to the eye” or “geotropic”), except in special cases for which the components not described are very small relative to the largest component. For example, epileptic nystagmus may be initiated either by slow phases or fast phases [109]. , Lee H. Sixth edition [61]. Thus, nystagmus beating toward the forehead when the head is in the Dix-Hallpike head hanging position (i.e., full neck extension while lying supine) is still upbeating, despite the fact that the movement is, in some sense, “downward” with respect to gravity. This volume brings together work from leading researchers in the fields of developmental disorders of binocular vision, strabismus, and both infantile and acquired forms of nystagmus. Methods of blocking or preventing fixation partially or completely include the following: 2) Occlusive ophthalmoscopy—observing one optic disc with an ophthalmoscope for nystagmus or saccadic intrusions while the other eye alternately fixates or is covered [166]. Comment: The same saccadic oscillations sometimes occur “involuntarily” as a functional disorder and may be superimposed upon smooth pursuit movements. A phase difference of 180 degrees between the two eyes produces a disjunctive nystagmus in which the two eyes move in opposite directions: if horizontal, a convergent-divergent nystagmus; if torsional, a cyclovergent nystagmus (both eyes intort simultaneously); and if mixed vertical-torsional, a seesaw nystagmus. Head movements around the cervical joints, Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science 33 (1992), 2501–2510. Comment: The amplitude and phase relationship determines the nystagmus trajectory, which may be oblique, elliptical, or circular. Rambold H. Clinical testing entails requesting the patient "count" a series of targets, such as squares on an OKN tape. , It is usually poorly suppressed by visual fixation. NOVEL - The Dan Gold Neuro-Ophthalmology Collection. Ward B.K. , During initial alcohol intoxication, the cupula becomes relatively lighter than the surrounding endolymph, producing geotropic horizontal positional alcohol nystagmus. de la Cruz R. Migliaccio A.A. Morrow M.J. Jareonsettasin P. It beats horizontally toward the uppermost ear (with a smaller torsional component beating with the upper pole of the eye to the uppermost ear) with the head turned to either side. Spontaneous peripheral vestibular nystagmus of the excitatory subtype is most often seen in Menière’s disease or vestibular paroxysmia. , Vannucchi P. However, depending on the clinical or scientific circumstances, rather than an eye-referenced coordinate system (e.g., vertical-torsional nystagmus), it may be more appropriate to use a head-referenced coordinate system (e.g., nystagmus in the plane of the posterior semicircular canal) or even an earth-referenced coordinate system (e.g., “geotropic” nystagmus for that which beats toward the ground) to describe the motion of the eyes. , , , Teaching NeuroImage: Oculomasticatory myorhythmia: Pathognomonic phenomenology of Whipple disease, Neurology 70 (2008), e25. Jerk nystagmus also may be physiologic, such as during natural rotation of the head, and in this circumstance the slow phase ensures rather than disrupts steady fixation. Comment: Conventionally, irrigation temperatures of 7°C away from body temperature (30°C and 44°C) or ice water are used in the laboratory. , , , This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Lee D.H. Sound-induced nystagmus may be elicited by external sound sources or by the patient’s own voice, e.g. , Curthoys I.S. Daroff R.B. Kim J.H. Chapter 202 - Nystagmus and Saccadic Intrusions and Oscillations ROBERT D. YEE DEFINITION • Fixation instabilities that usually are involuntary and rhythmic. , , , Smith H. Horizontal semicircular canal BPPN: Positional nystagmus, attributed to BPPV, elicited after a brief or no latency by the supine roll test, changing directions to beat horizontally toward either the undermost ear (geotropic form) or uppermost ear (apogeotropic form) with the head turned to either side [156]. Additional neurological or ocular motor symptoms or signs are typically present to suggest a diagnosis other than BPPV [19, 31, 32]. These tiny oscillations may only be visible with ophthalmoscopy or close inspection of the conjunctival vessels during attacks. , The neurology of eye movements, Oxford University Press, New York, 2015. Zee D.S. , The nystagmus beats torsionally with the upper pole of the eye to the lower ear and vertically upward (to the forehead) [156]. Welgampola M.S. Although nystagmus is often described by the direction of its quick phases (for example, downbeat nystagmus), it is the slow phase that reflects the underlying disorder. Lemos J. This volume contains selected and edited papers from the 7th European Conference on Eye Movements (ECEM 7) held in Durham, UK on August 31-September 3 1993. Wechsler D.S. Positional nystagmus: Nystagmus triggered by and occurring after a change in head position with respect to gravity. The saccade-and-fixate strategy, associated with voluntary eye movements, was first uncovered in the context of involuntary eye movements following body rotation. One patient with a left temporo-parietal seizure focus developed vertigo and right-beating nystagmus with linear slow phases but without any preceding gaze deviation, suggesting cortical involvement of the vestibular and pursuit structures [62]. , Disclaimer, National Library of Medicine b.

Gillen J.S. Comment: Eye movement recordings have demonstrated initial intorsion and depression followed by irregular small oscillations [108]. , Saccadic oscillations are sustained oscillations initiated by fast saccadic eye movements. , Absent baseline oculographic or video recordings before illness onset, it may not always be possible to differentiate physiologic end-point nystagmus from subtle, newly acquired pathologic gaze-evoked nystagmus. , , The amplitude, frequency, and waveform can vary with eye position, typically increasing on lateral gaze (right-beating in right gaze, left-beating in left gaze) but diminishing in intensity in a null zone, leading individuals to adopt a head turn that minimizes the nystagmus during fixation on a target. Slow phases are in the direction of visual motion and can be horizontal, vertical, or torsional depending on the stimulus. , Nystagmus triggered by bodily maneuvers that increase intracranial or middle ear pressure should be classified as Valsalva-induced nystagmus (2.3.5.). Positional nystagmus whose trajectory does not align with a semicircular canal in head-referenced coordinates, such as purely vertical or purely torsional positional nystagmus (provided visual fixation is blocked), suggests central nervous system disease [18, 19, 28, 29, 48, 100, 157].

Iverson D.J. Revilla F.J. Horizontal and vertical components can be in phase, resulting in a diagonal trajectory, or 90 degrees out of phase, resulting in a circular trajectory (if the amplitudes of horizontal and vertical movements are the same) or an elliptical trajectory (if the amplitude of the horizontal and vertical components differ). Ahn B.H. It is more intense when the head is turned toward the affected ear, though the intensity is greater and latency shorter with larger and faster head turns in the supine roll test [13, 145], so the net angle and acceleration of the head rotation should be similar for head turns to the right and left to allow for comparison of nystagmus intensity. , Types of saccadic eye movements A.

Todd Troost, M.D. , Saccadic intrusions: Review and update, Current Opinion in Neurology 26 (2013), 59–66. , , Other peripheral vestibular disorders have been reported to occasionally cause positional nystagmus that must be differentiated from BPPV based on additional symptoms and signs, including vestibular paroxysmia (neurovascular cross-compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve) [25, 74], vestibular schwannoma [147], Menière’s disease [101], and vestibular atelectasis [162]. , Ophthalmoscopy in examination of patients with vestibular disorders, Annals of Neurology 3 (1978), 373–374. Saccadic Pulses: Saccadic pulses are brief intrusions upon steady fixation caused by an unintended saccade away from the fixation position, sometimes followed by an immediate drift back. Kim J.S. Ishikawa S. Sound-induced nystagmus: Nystagmus triggered by an auditory stimulus. ), infantile nystagmus (2.1.3.1. 2. • “A rapid, involuntary, oscillatory motion of the eyeball” [3], • “An involuntary, rapid, rhythmic movement of the eyeball, which may be horizontal, vertical, rotatory, or mixed” [1], • “Nystagmus is a rhythmic regular oscillation of the eyes” [16], • “Repetitive to-and-fro movements of the eyes that are initiated by slow phases” [109]. [24, 53], and some forms of central positional nystagmus). Della Santina C.C. Comment: The oscillation frequency is typically 10–25 Hz, higher with small-sized movements. Sugizaki K. Nystagmus trajectory and other attributes may be influenced by several factors: Nystagmus characteristics can be affected by eye position within the orbit. Klaas J.P. , Found insideMathematical Modelling in Motor Neuroscience: State of the Art and Translation to the Clinic, Gaze Orienting Mechanisms and Disease, Volume 249, the latest release in the Progress in Brain Research series, highlights new advances in the ... , , Waveform: The nystagmus “waveform” is the oscillatory appearance of nystagmus on an oculographic trace (Fig. The direction of all eye movements, including nystagmus, should be described from the vantage point of the subject, not the examiner (e.g., right-beating nystagmus beats toward the subject’s right ear, not the examiner’s right ear, when the examiner is face-to-face in front of the patient). , High-frequency skull vibration-induced nystagmus test in partial vestibular lesions, Otol Neurotol 32 (2011), 1291–1301. Kim JS, Kim JS, Youn J, Seo DW, Jeong Y, Kang JH, Park JH, Cho JW. Controlled cortically by the frontal eye fields, or subcortically by the superior colliculus, saccades serve as a mechanism for fixation, rapid eye movement… There was no change with oculocephalics. Comment: Spontaneous central vestibular nystagmus may have any trajectory. 2) Monocular occlusion (monocular fixation)—fixation is blocked in one eye while the other is fixating. Gresty M.A. For example, horizontal vestibular nystagmus in straight-ahead gaze appears to develop a torsional component in far up or down gaze positions if described from the vantage point of the subject’s line of sight, an eye-referenced frame, despite the fact that the eyes are still rotating around the same yaw (vertical) axis in a head-referenced frame. Within that construct, it became unavoidable to mix terms that are defined by different characteristics such as direction (downbeat nystagmus), presumed localization (vestibular nystagmus), or etiology (epileptic nystagmus) in order to include all of the relevant forms. Examples of saccadic intrusions include square wave jerks, in which the oscillations are separated by an intersaccadic interval (pause), and back-to-back saccadic oscillations such as ocular flutter and opsoclonus in which there is no intersaccadic interval.
