Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We studied two patients with eyelid nystagmus induced by ocular convergence. The first patient, a 29-year-old man, had the signs of a cerebellar syndrome after sustaining severe craniocerebral injuries. The second patient, a 12-year-old girl, had a tumor of the anterior vermis cerebelli. After treatment with corticosteroids (Patient 1) and surgery (Patient 2), the eyelid nystagmus gradually disappeared. An alteration in the cerebellar system is the most likely cause of convergence-evoked nystagmus.
