Pendular See-Saw Nystagmus: A Rare Presenting Manifestation of Craniopharyngioma.

ABSTRACT: Pendular see-saw nystagmus is an extremely rare form of nystagmus characterised by cyclical movement of the eyes with a conjugate torsional component and a disjunctive vertical component. Intorsion and elevation of one eye is accompanied by simultaneous extorsion and depression of the contralateral eye. Most commonly it results from a suprasellar/parasellar mass compressing the meso-diencephalic region. Herein, we report a case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with pendular see-saw nystagmus secondary to a craniopharyngioma. The nystagmus resolved following excision of the lesion.

Downbeat Nystagmus as a Presenting Manifestation of Neurolisteriosis in a Pregnant Woman.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes has tropism towards two immunologically "privileged" sites, the fetoplacental unit in pregnant women and the central nervous system (neurolisteriosis) in immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of neurolisteriosis in a previously asymptomatic pregnant woman from rural West Bengal, India, who presented with a subacute onset febrile illness with features of rhombencephalitis and a predominantly midline-cerebellopathy (slow and dysmetric saccades, florid downbeat nystagmus, horizontal nystagmus, and ataxia). With timely detection and the institution of prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy, both the mother and the fetus were saved uneventfully.

Complete and Immediate Resolution of See-Saw Nystagmus Following Pituitary Macroadenoma Resection: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:See-saw nystagmus (SSN) is a rare form of nystagmus characterised by alternating elevation with incyclotorsion of one eye and concomitant depression with excyclotorsion of the other eye, often due to abnormalities involving the midbrain and parasellar region. Herein, we highlight a rare case of pendular SSN, which demonstrated complete resolution following resection of a pituitary macroadenoma. A patient in their 40s was identified to have SSN and was diagnosed with a pituitary macroadenoma. They underwent an endoscopic endonasal transsellar approach for resection of the pituitary adenoma. Their nystagmus resolved immediately after surgery. From a review of the literature, resolution and/or significant improvement in SSN occurred in 74% of cases following treatment, with 100%, 86% and 50% following treatment for medication-induced, neurological infarcts, and mass-effect aetiologies of SSN, respectively. SSN is a rare entity with a wide array of aetiologies. Identification of the causative aetiology and appropriate treatment can lead to significant improvement or resolution of the nystagmus in most cases.

Unilateral Vertical Pendular Nystagmus in Multiple Sclerosis: A Distinctive Neuro-Ophthalmological Sign.

Project description:Lesions in multiple sclerosis can involve brain, optic nerve and spinal cord. We here report a patient of multiple sclerosis, who had unilateral vertical pendular nystagmus, because of simultaneous involvement of optic nerve and asymmetric brain stem lesions. This specific combination is rarely seen in other disorders, therefore can be considered as a distinctive neuro-opthalmoloical sign of multiple sclerosis.

Damping of monocular pendular nystagmus with vibration in a patient with multiple sclerosis.

Project description:Acquired pendular nystagmus (PN) occurs commonly in multiple sclerosis (MS) and results in a highly disabling oscillopsia that impairs vision. It usually consists of pseudo-sinusoidal oscillations at a single frequency (3-5 Hz) that often briefly stop for a few hundred milliseconds after saccades and blinks. The oscillations are thought to arise from instability in the gaze-holding networks ("neural integrator") in the brainstem and cerebellum.(1,2) Here we describe a patient with monocular PN in whom vibration on the skull from a handheld muscle massager strikingly diminished or stopped her nystagmus.

Pendular nystagmus associated with venlafaxine overdose: a forme fruste of the serotonin syndrome?

Project description:We describe a case of pendular nystagmus as a previously unreported side effect of venlafaxine, and speculate to its importance in the recognition of the serotonin syndrome. In particular, we discuss the importance of identifying incomplete forms of the syndrome, such as those presenting with predominantly ocular manifestations, as is in our case.

See-saw rocking: an in vitro model for mechanotransduction research.

Project description:In vitro mechanotransduction studies, uncovering the basic science of the response of cells to mechanical forces, are essential for progress in tissue engineering and its clinical application. Many varying investigations have described a multitude of cell responses; however, as the precise nature and magnitude of the stresses applied are infrequently reported and rarely validated, the experiments are often not comparable, limiting research progress. This paper provides physical and biological validation of a widely available fluid stimulation device, a see-saw rocker, as an in vitro model for cyclic fluid shear stress mechanotransduction. This allows linkage between precisely characterized stimuli and cell monolayer response in a convenient six-well plate format. Models of one well were discretized and analysed extensively using computational fluid dynamics to generate convergent, stable and consistent predictions of the cyclic fluid velocity vectors at a rocking frequency of 0.5 Hz, accounting for the free surface. Validation was provided by comparison with flow velocities measured experimentally using particle image velocimetry. Qualitative flow behaviour was matched and quantitative analysis showed agreement at representative locations and time points. Maximum shear stress of 0.22 Pa was estimated near the well edge, and time-average shear stress ranged between 0.029 and 0.068 Pa. Human tenocytes stimulated using the system showed significant increases in collagen and GAG secretion at 2 and 7 day time points. This in vitro model for mechanotransduction provides a versatile, flexible and inexpensive method for the fluid shear stress impact on biological cells to be studied.
