Abstract

A 4-year-old male patient was brought by his family because of his head position since one year old. Visual acuities were 20/200 bilaterally with the Snellen chart. Biomicroscopy and fundus findings were normal. Horizontal pendular nystagmus was present with exotropia of 14 prism diopters. The face was turned 35 degrees to the left while the eye movements were free in all directions. The patient was diagnosed with congenital nystagmus and abnormal head position (AHP) due to the nystagmus. Parks modification of the Kestenbaum procedure was performed. Postoperative follow-up revealed that the AHP had been corrected and the nystagmus in the primary position had decreased. The patient was orthotropic. We wanted to present this case to demonstrate the effectiveness of surgical treatment in correcting AHP developing as a result of nystagmus.

Özet

Dört yaşında erkek hastanın ailesi kliniğimize bir yaşından beri hastada var olan baş pozisyonunda eğiklik ile başvurdu. Görme keskinlikleri Snellen eşeli ile bilateral 20/200 düzeyindeydi. Biyomikroskopisi ve fundus muayenesi doğaldı. Hastanın horizantal pendüler nistagmusuve 14 prizm diyoptri ekzotropyası mevcuttu. Yüzü 35 derece sola dönüktü ve göz hareketleri her yöne serbestti. Hastaya konjenital nistagmusve nistagmusa bağlı oluşan anormal baş pozisyonu (ABP) tanısı konuldu. Hastaya Kestembaum-Parks modifikasyonu cerrahisi yapıldı.Hastanın cerrahi sonrası kontrollerinde ABP'nin düzeldiği, primer pozisyonda nistagmusunun azaldığı ve ortotropik olduğu görüldü. Bu olguyu sunmamızın amacı, nistagmusa bağlı olarak gelişen ABP'yi düzeltmek için yapılan cerrahi tedavinin etkinliğini göstermektir.
