Atypical sensory nystagmus and its surgical management.
Two patients with oculocutaneous albinism who had presumed sensory-defect nystagmus also showed the features of congenital motor-defect nystagmus. Both patients used an abnormal head posture to block the nystagmus, and each had coexisting strabismus. Modern surgical techniques simultaneously shifted the null point of the nystagmus to the primary position and corrected the strabismus.
