Mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS) is a neurological condition characterized by a constant sensation of self-motion; onset may be motion-triggered (MT) or non-motion-triggered/spontaneous (NMT/SO). People with MdDS experience similar symptoms to those with vertical heterophoria, a subset of binocular visual dysfunction. Hence, we aimed to explore potential visual symptom overlaps.
MdDS patients (n = 196) and controls (n = 197) completed a visual health questionnaire.
Compared with controls, the MdDS group demonstrated higher visual disorder scores and visual complaints. NMT/SO participants reported unique visual symptoms and a higher prevalence of mild traumatic brain injury.
Our findings suggest visual disorders may coexist with MdDS, particularly the NMT/SO subtype. The difference in visual dysfunction frequency and medical histories between subtypes, warrants further investigation into differing pathophysiological mechanisms.
下船综合征（MdDS）是一种神经系统疾病，其特征是持续的自我运动感觉；发病可能由运动触发（MT）或非运动触发/自发（NMT/SO）。MdDS患者经历的症状与垂直隐斜视患者相似，垂直隐斜视是双眼视觉功能障碍的一个子集。因此，我们旨在探索潜在的视觉症状重叠情况。
MdDS患者（n = 196）和对照组（n = 197）完成了一份视觉健康问卷。
与对照组相比，MdDS组表现出更高的视觉障碍评分和视觉主诉。NMT/SO参与者报告了独特的视觉症状和轻度创伤性脑损伤的更高患病率。
我们的研究结果表明视觉障碍可能与MdDS共存，尤其是NMT/SO亚型。各亚型之间视觉功能障碍频率和病史的差异，值得进一步研究不同的病理生理机制。
