Abstract:
Seesaw nystagmus is a rare spontaneous ocular movement,which refers to mixed torsional-vertical nystagmus with conjugate torsional components and the vertical components in the opposite directions.It is divided into the pendular and jerky types,according to the movement features.Seesaw nystagmus has not been reported in China.We herein report a case of jerky seesaw nystagmus caused by mesencephalic and thalamic infarcts,in order to improve awareness about the ocular sign.
