In the management of congenital, ocular nystagmus as well surgical procedures (according Kestenbaum, Anderson and similar modifications) with the purpose of shifting nystagmus "neutral zone" in the primary position of gaze, as nonsurgical treatment with prisms, show favourable effect on head position, nystagmus intensity and visual acuity. In this preliminary report the authors tried to evaluate, by means of electronystagmography, their clinical experiences in some treated nystagmus cases, objectively. The electronystagmographic findings of nystagmus amplitude, frequency and intensity, depending on position of gaze, were before and after surgery, respectively treatment analysed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
