Abstract. Infantile nystagmus (IN), previously known as congenital nystagmus, is an involuntary to-and-fro movement of the eyes that persists throughout life. IN is one of three types of early-onset nystagmus that begin in infancy, alongside fusion maldevelopment nystagmus syndrome and spasmus nutans syndrome.
Nystagmus is most commonly caused by a neurological problem that is present at birth or develops in early childhood. Acquired nystagmus, which occurs later in life, can be the symptom of another condition or disease, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis or trauma.
ICD-10 code H55 for Nystagmus and other irregular eye movements is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Congenital motor nystagmus is a genetic condition characterized by an involuntary movement of eyes back and forth (nystagmus). Affected individuals will often turn or bob their head to try to improve vision clarity. Pigmentation in the eye is normal.
Congenital nystagmus onset is typically between 6 weeks and several months of age.
There are two types of nystagmus. In pendular nystagmus, the eye motion is like a pendulum swinging back and forth. Jerk nystagmus, the more common type, is characterized by eyes that drift slowly in one direction and then jerk back the other way.
Pharmacologic treatment has been used in acquired nystagmus with mixed success. Treatments have included baclofen, sodium valproate, gabapentin, and memantine.
Congenital nystagmus affects visual development in children and can result in limited visual acuity. However, children typically do not experience vertigo (a spinning sensation) or oscillopsia (images moving side to side). Patients may also tilt or turn their head to see better or try to slow down the eye movements.
Nystagmus is a condition where the eyes move rapidly and uncontrollably. They can move: side to side (horizontal nystagmus) up and down (vertical nystagmus) in a circle (rotary nystagmus)
ICD-10 code R51 for Headache is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Latent nystagmus is a binocular horizontal oscillation that becomesapparent when 1 eye is covered. First described by Faucon in 1872,8 latent nystagmus develops when congenital esotropiaprecludes frontal binocular vision early in infancy.
Acquired nystagmus can sometimes be corrected once the underlying condition is addressed. For example, if nystagmus is caused by an inner ear condition, symptoms may go away once it's treated. People with congenital nystagmus cannot be cured completely, but symptoms can be managed with proper treatment.
Congenital nystagmus affects visual development in children and can result in limited visual acuity. However, children typically do not experience vertigo (a spinning sensation) or oscillopsia (images moving side to side). Patients may also tilt or turn their head to see better or try to slow down the eye movements.
Most people with nystagmus have some useful vision and normally nystagmus doesn't get worse with age. Your vision can vary in quality when you have nystagmus, depending on which direction you're looking in or whether you're looking at something far away or close up.
The good news Nystagmus is not painful and does not lead to total blindness. Vision tends to improve until it stabilises around the age of five or six. Giving children plenty of stimulation in the early years does seem to help them make best use of the vision they have.

Nystagmus /nɪˈstæɡməs/ is a condition of involuntary (or voluntary, in rare cases) eye movement, acquired in infancy or later in life, that may result in reduced or limited vision. Due to the involuntary movement of the eye, it is often called "dancing eyes". [a]

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 379.51 was previously used, H55.01 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
