Condition(s) studied

Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Graded Anderson procedureKestenbaum procedure

Graded Anderson procedure: In graded Anderson proceduren only recession of yoke muscles is done.

Kestenbaum procedure: In Kestenbaum procedure, recession of yoke muscles and resection of their antagonists is done based on Parks table for Kestenbaum procedure according to the preoperative amount of head turn.

Study summary

Infantile nystagmus is involuntary, bilateral, conjugate and rhythmic oscillations of the eyes which may present at birth or develop within the first 6 months of life. It may be idiopathic appearing without visual or neurological impairment or may be secondary to an afferent visual defect such as foveal hypoplasia, congenital cataract, retinal dystrophy or optic atrophy. Aiming at improving outcome of head turn in idiopathic infantile nystagmus, comparison between the efficacy and safety of graded Anderson procedure and Kestenbaum procedure is essential.
