点頭痙攣症について

Regarding nodding spasm

I．緒言

　点頭痙攣Spasmus Nutansは，眼振，頭部の振盪，時に斜頸を伴う乳幼児疾患で，従来，主として小児科に於て，神経機能的疾患或は神経症の一つとして取扱われて来た疾患であつて，本邦眼科領域に於ては，未だその報告に接して居ない。我々は本疾患の一例を得，本症は鉱夫眼振等とその基を一にする視性眼振の一つであり，眼科的治療を要する疾患である事を信ずるに至つたので，報告する。

Eight-month old baby boy.

I reported one case of nodding spasm who indicated a very quick gyrosed undulatory nystagmus and concussion of head.

His residence was not dark and his parents were intermarried.

He was affected with latency rachitis and craniotabes, accomponied with macular de-generation.

I cured him after one year with administra-tion of vitamins A. & D. and mydriatic, and also by the fixing eye practice with luminious body.
