Spasmus nutans--or is it?
At age 3 1/2 years a child developed what appeared to be classic spasmus nutans. Thorough discussions as to the propriety of neuroimaging studies in such patients are presented. With this late age of onset, the presence of a compressive lesion was suspected and neuroimaging demonstrated a sellar-suprasellar mass lesion.
