ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To identify the ophthalmic causes of congenital nystagmus with normal eye examination by electroretinography (ERG). STUDYDESIGN:
Retrospective observational study.METHODS:
We reviewed the medical records of patients younger than 6 months of age who presented between June 2008 and November 2011 with nystagmus and no other neurological signs following an otherwise normal eye examination. A complete ophthalmic examination and ERG (Nicolet Bravo system; Nicolet Biomedial & RETIscan; Roland Instruments), fundus photography, and Ishihara color test were performed to identify any ophthalmic causes of congenital nystagmus.RESULTS:
Thirty-three patients met the criteria. Rod dysfunction was diagnosed in 4 patients (12.1%), cone dysfunction in 2 patients (6.1%), and cone-rod dysfunction in 1 patient (3.0%). The results of ERG were negative in 2 patients (6.1%). Idiopathic infantile nystagmus was diagnosed in the remaining 24 patients (72.7%) based on their normal ERG examination.CONCLUSIONS:
In Korean congenital nystagmus patients with a normal fundus examination, achromatopsia and Leber's congenital amaurosis are uncommon causes. ERG is needed to make a definite diagnosis and provide prognostic information in congenital idiopathic nystagmus patients with a normal fundus examination.Palavras-chave
