Septo-optic dysplasia associated with see-saw nystagmus
G. V. Davis and J. P. Shock
Septo-optic dysplasia is a syndrome of midline abnormalities of the central
nervous system resulting in absence of the septum pellucidum and dysplasia
of the optic chiasm or optic nerves. The characteristic fundus findings of
small, dysplastic discs and defects in the nerve fiber layer enable the
clinician to predict this syndrome prior to contrast studies. An unsual
form of nystagmus, see-saw nystagmus, was associated with septo-optic
dysplasia in this case report.
