[Benign paroxysmal tonic upgaze of infancy: 2 additional cases].
Benign paroxysmal tonic upgaze is an ill-defined neuro-ophthalmological disorder with onset in infancy. It consists of sudden ocular movements with sustained upward deviation of the eyes. Episodes disappear with time: spontaneous remission occurs within a few months or years without any change in psychomotor development. EEG and neuro-imaging are unrevealing. To date, the pathogenesis of the condition is still unknown. Early recognition of this benign condition minimizes potentially unnecessary investigations and treatments. Herein, we report on 2 additional sporadic cases.
