Horizontal Transposition of the Vertical Rectus Muscles to Correct a Head Tilt in 5 Patients With Idiopathic Nystagmus Syndrome.

Purpose: Patients with idiopathic nystagmus syndrome often develop an abnormal head position. A horizontal face turn can be treated with the augmented Kestenbaum procedure, while patients with a chin up or chin down position can be treated with surgery on the vertical recti and/or oblique muscles. Although rare, some patients may have a head tilt with no face turn.

X-linked high myopia associated with cone dysfunction.

Objective: Bornholm eye disease (BED) consists of X-linked high myopia, high cylinder, optic nerve hypoplasia, reduced electroretinographic flicker with abnormal photopic responses, and deuteranopia. The disease maps to chromosome Xq28 and is the first designated high-grade myopia locus (MYP1). We studied a second family from Minnesota with a similar X-linked phenotype, also of Danish descent.
