[Numerical reflections concerning alternating torticollis with nystagmus and binocular functions (author's transl)]. 1981

S Priglinger, and S Priglinger

The authors describe a patient suffering from torticollis with an eccentric neutral point of relative rest caused by a congenital nystagmus (rotation to the left for long-range vision and to the right for close-range vision - nystagmus alternans); the torticollis is not aggravated in close-range vision by an asymmetrical Anderson-Kestenbaum operation at a suitable range (asymmetrical correction of the torticollis for long-range vision by exploiting the range of fusion into divergence). Surgical alternatives are discussed and trigonometric relations are correlated with clinical experience (for torticollis with binocular functions). Torticollis without binocular functions is discussed in brief.

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.

D014103	Torticollis	A symptom, not a disease, of a twisted neck. In most instances, the head is tipped toward one side and the chin rotated toward the other. The involuntary muscle contractions in the neck region of patients with torticollis can be due to congenital defects, trauma, inflammation, tumors, and neurological or other factors.
