Question 7

CONGENITAL Nystagmus features

Answer 7

Convergance and eye closure dampen nystagmus

Oscillopsia is absent

Null zone is present

Gaze position does not effect nystagmus

Equal amplitude and frequency ou

Near vision is good

Inversion of Optokinetic nystagmus

Turning of head (allows one eye to reach null position)

Absent nystagmus during sleep

Latent nystagmus

Question 8

Nystagmus types and relationships

Answer 8

Downbeat: cervicomedullary junction (eg. Arnold Chiari malformation), cerebellar flocculus

See-Saw: Parasellar area (craniopharyngioma), midbrain

Opsoclonus: Neuroblastoma

Periodic alternating: cervicomedulary junction, cerebellar nodulus

Upbeat: cerebellum, medulla, midbrain

Spasm nutans: usually no tumor

Question 15

Band Keratopathy deposits in what layer?

Answer 15

Bowman’s layer

Question 16

CONGENITAL Nystagmus

Answer 16

(Convergence and eye closure dampen the nystagmus; Oscillopsia is usually absent; Null zone is present; Gaze position does not change the direction of nystagmus; Equal amplitude and frequency of nystagmus in each eye; near acuity is good because convergence dampens nystagmus; Inversion of optokinetic nystegmus occurs; Turning of head or abnormal head posture allows eyes to enter a null zone; Absent nystagmus during sleep; Latent nystagmus occurs)
