Cone-rod dystrophy and acquired dissociated vertical nystagmus

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2005 Mar-Apr;42(2):114-6. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20050301-06.

Abstract

Although usually a manifestation of vestibular or neurological disease, acquired nystagmus occasionally can be seen in ocular diseases such as ocular albinism and cone dystrophy. The present case of cone-rod dystrophy presenting with acquired dissociated vertical nystagmus probably demonstrates another unusual manifestation of cone-rod dystrophy.
