[Seesaw nystagmus: symptom of a biochemical disorder (author's transl)]. 1977

K Rych

A case of the rare seesaw nystagmus is presented and compared as for identity with an another case, reported by this author earlier. Some new finds were made, completing the first observation, published 1974 [27]. Both the cases of the seesaw nystagmus were found to have the same biochemical disorders: the cystathioninuria and the hypopyridoxalphosphatemie.

D009759 Nystagmus, Pathologic Involuntary movements of the eye that are divided into two types, jerk and pendular. Jerk nystagmus has a slow phase in one direction followed by a corrective fast phase in the opposite direction, and is usually caused by central or peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Pendular nystagmus features oscillations that are of equal velocity in both directions and this condition is often associated with visual loss early in life.

D011732 Pyridoxal Phosphate This is the active form of VITAMIN B 6 serving as a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (PYRIDOXAMINE).

D000592 Amino Acid Metabolism, Inborn Errors Disorders affecting amino acid metabolism. The majority of these disorders are inherited and present in the neonatal period with metabolic disturbances (e.g., ACIDOSIS) and neurologic manifestations. They are present at birth, although they may not become symptomatic until later in life.
