NYSTAGMUS Clinical contrast sensitivity testing in patients with infantile nystagmus syndrome compared with age-matched controls. Hertle RW, Reese M. Am J Ophthalmol. 2007 Jun;143(6):1063-5. PURPOSE: To compare contrast sensitivity using a commercially available technique between patients with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) and controls. METHODS: The functional acuity contrast test (FACT) was used binocularly in patients with INS and aged-matched controls with best acuity under normal lighting using a progression of high-quality sine wave grating size changes with increasing spatial frequencies. RESULTS: Nine INS patients aged 5 to 11 years and 25 controls were tested. The INS patients' best binocular acuity ranged from 20/125 to 20/30, and that of the controls was 20/25 or better. When compared with age-matched controls, INS patients displayed deficiencies in contrast sensitivity syndrome using the FACT test. CONCLUSIONS: The FACT or a similar testing system may have potential as a commercially available outcome measure in clinical trials in patients with INS. Outcome study of two standard and graduated augmented modified Kestenbaum surgery protocols for abnormal head postures in infantile nystagmus. Chang YH, Chang JH, Han SH, Lee JB. Binocul Vis Strabismus Q. 2007;22(4):235- Since Kestenbaum and Anderson, several ophthalmologists have reported the results of different surgical procedures for abnormal head posture in infantile nystagmus. In this study, the authors evaluated the surgical results of Parks' original 5-6-7-8 mm modified Kestenbaum procedure and their own 6-7-6-7 mm (medial rectus recessed or resected 6mm and the lateral rectus recessed or resected 7mm) modified Kestenbaum procedure. The medical records of 92 patients, who had modified Kestenbaum surgery (5-6-7-8 mm or 6-7-6-7 mm) at The Yonsei Medical Center in Seoul, Korea, from March 1991 to September 2001 with a follow-up period of more than 6 months, were reviewed retrospectively. They compared Parks' modified Kestenbaum surgery (5- 6-7-8 mm) performed on 51 patients with the modified Kestenbaum surgery (6-7-6-7 mm) on 41 patients. Each procedure was done with graded augmentation (0%, 20% or 30% augmentation) according to the amount of the face turn and the null point in electrooculography. RESULTS: In the follow-up of an average 33 months, 45 out of 51 patients (88.2%) who underwent Parks' modified procedures showed face turn less than 10 degrees. In the follow-up of an average 29 months, 36 out of 41 patients (87.8%) with 6- 7-6-7 mm procedure had face turn less than 10 degrees. The authors suggest that the 6-7-6-7 mm modified Kestenbaum procedure with a graded augmentation may be a 108
safe and efficient procedure to correct abnormal head posture in infantile nystagmus with a minimum decrease in ocular motility which can result after larger amounts of augmentation MYOPIA 109
