Popis: The primary goal of nystagmus treatment is to improve visual function and quality of life. Current surgical interventions are limited by regression of effect, serious complications, and reliance on a null zone. Tse and colleagues in 2017 reported the use of a T-plate/suture fixation platform for globe stabilization to treat acquired nystagmus and oscillopsia without a null zone in a patient with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia. However, the improvement in nystagmus was not objectively quantified. This case series reports 2 patients who underwent bilateral T-plate placement which resulted in immediate and sustained improvement of nystagmus objectively measured by videonystagmography.
