Posttraumatic seesaw nystagmus abolished by ethanol ingestion

L. Frisén, MD, PhD and C. Wikkelsø, MD, PhD

Departments of Ophthalmology and Neurology, University of Goteborg, Sweden.

We describe a patient who was left with a midchiasmal injury and bitemporal hemianopia after head trauma. Four months later, she developed typical seesaw nystagmus and moderate hydrocephalus. Lumbar punctures did not affect the nystagmus, but a temporary cessation was documented after ingestion of ethanol.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Frisén, Ögonkliniken, Sahlgrenska sjukhuset, S-413 45 Göteborg, Sweden.

Accepted for publication October 14, 1985.
