[Nystagmus giratoire and optic nerve hypoplasia in combination with absence of the septum pellucidum (author's transl)].
Septo-optical dysplasia and Optic nerve hypoplasia often are combined with pendular nystagmus in the horizontal, vertikal or rotatory direction. Our patient, 26 year old, showing discret neurological symptoms, added the nystagmus giratoire, perhaps similar to see-saw-nystagmus: Vision was about 0.2. Nystagmus and the whole state did not change within 6 years. The nystagmus was influenced by drugs. There was found also an aplasia of the fovea zentralis. Pneumencephalography revealed in the midline a dilatated single ventricle; the septum pellucidum was absent. Te X-rays of the atlantooccipital axis showed a foramen arcuale atlantis.
