| Description |
Nystagmus that is induced by turning the eye to an eccentric position in the orbit is called gaze-evoked nystagmus. It is the most common form of nystagmus encountered in clinical practice. Although the terms gaze-evoked nystagmus, end-point nystagmus, and gaze-paretic nystagmus are often used synonymously, gaze-evoked nystagmus is a general term that includes both physiologic and pathologic nystagmus. When the nystagmus is physiologic, the term endpoint nystagmus is appropriate. When the nystagmus is associated with a paresis of gaze, as in patients with ocular motor nerve palsies or weakness of the extraocular muscles, the term gaze-paretic nystagmus is appropriate. |
