In this paper, 2 patients, a daughter with periodic alternating nystagmus and a mother with congenital fixation nystagmus, are presented, and the similarities of the two disorders are discussed, not only in the eye movements, but also in their underlying abnormalities. The literature was reviewed, and the link between periodic alternating and congenital fixation nystagmus, which had been suggested based on circumstantial evidence, may be confirmed by our cases. The possible evidence of inheritance suggests that the two disorders share common abnormalities in visual processing.
本文介绍了2例患者,1例患有周期性交替性眼球震颤的女儿和1例患有先天性注视性眼球震颤的母亲,并讨论了这两种疾病的相似之处,不仅在眼球运动方面,而且在其潜在异常方面。回顾了相关文献,基于间接证据提出的周期性交替性眼球震颤和先天性注视性眼球震颤之间的联系,可能通过我们的病例得到证实。可能的遗传证据表明,这两种疾病在视觉处理方面存在共同异常。
