Nystagmus Retractor

Retractor nystagmus is a type of nystagmus in which the eyeballs make rapid movements in the direction opposite to the direction of gaze. This type of nystagmus can be caused by a variety of reasons, including head injuries, brain tumors, stroke and other diseases.

Symptoms of retractor nystagmus may include rapid changes in gaze direction, poor coordination, and difficulty reading and writing. Treatment for retractor nystagmus may include surgery, medication, and physical therapy.

It is important to note that retractor nystagmus may be a sign of a more serious condition, so if symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Retractor nystagmus can be given the following **interpretation**: a nystagmic discharge that occurs against the background of strong somatic stimuli, especially optical ones.

**Syn. terminal:** * N.R - pulsating nystagmus * Nystagmus discharge * Reflex nystag * ZR retraction These are rhythmic rapid movements of the eyeballs back or forward. This condition is caused by the inability of the oculomotor muscles to smoothly produce contralateral ocular recession in response to external stimuli during pupillary retraction. They occur when there is severe irritation, usually in a stressful situation.

There are two ways to determine eye nystagmia. One is not directed directly at the patient, but at his shadow, which is cast if there is optical power in the pupil. Another method is to place a mydriatic drop. This uses the effect of drops on the size of the pupil and the location of the pupil itself in the eye. The highest concentration for this test is Methocarbamol (atropine).

Therapy involves the use of a set of methods to eliminate the cause of the disease. For example, when treating nutritional deficiencies (particularly hypothyroidism), thyroid hormone replacement therapy is indicated.
