  • Title: Arnold-Chiari malformation and nystagmus of skew.
    Author: Pieh C, Gottlob I.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 2000 Jul; 69(1):124-6. PubMed ID: 10864619.
    Abstract:
    The Arnold-Chiari malfomation is typically associated with downbeat nystagmus. Eye movement recordings in two patients with Arnold-Chiari malfomation type 1 showed, in addition to downbeat and gaze evoked nystagmus, intermittent nystagmus of skew. To date this finding has not been reported in association with Arnold-Chiari malfomation. Nystagmus of skew should raise the suspicion of Arnold-Chiari malfomation and prompt sagittal head MRI examination.
