Current management of paediatric nystagmus
Current management of paediatric nystagmus
Children presenting with nystagmus can pose significant challenges for clinicians for a variety of reasons. Here, we discuss the diverse clinical context in which children with nystagmus present and the unique impact it has on visual function. This provides the context for a more structured, robust approach to management of this complex patient group. We describe a methodical approach to a core workup, adaptable to all patients and settings, that can identify important red flags and direct further specialist testing. The role, benefits and limitations of specialist testing modalities required to make a comprehensive diagnosis are then laid out. The role of conventional and nystagmus-specific treatments are detailed with particular attention drawn to the role of ongoing education, information and support for patients and families.

Abstract
Children presenting with nystagmus can pose significant challenges for clinicians for a variety of reasons. Here, we discuss the diverse clinical context in which children with nystagmus present and the unique impact it has on visual function. This provides the context for a more structured, robust approach to management of this complex patient group. We describe a methodical approach to a core workup, adaptable to all patients and settings, that can identify important red flags and direct further specialist testing. The role, benefits and limitations of specialist testing modalities required to make a comprehensive diagnosis are then laid out. The role of conventional and nystagmus-specific treatments are detailed with particular attention drawn to the role of ongoing education, information and support for patients and families.
