Epileptic nystagmus associated with typical absence seizures.
A 10-year-old girl was reported who showed horizontal nystagmus in association with typical absence and 3-cycles/s generalized, bisynchronous spike-and-wave discharges. In view of the general concept that epileptic nystagmus is a manifestation of partial seizures, the occurrence of such an association deserves documentation.
