TI  - Congenital ocular motor apraxia with torsional oscillations: a case report.
PG  - 925-30
AB  - Congenital ocular motor apraxia (C-OMA) is an infrequently reported eye movement 
      disorder associated with malformation or delayed maturation of the brain. 
      Patients with C-OMA are unable to initiate voluntary horizontal saccades. This 
      results in characteristic head thrusts into the desired field of gaze to 
      compensate for the lack of saccadic ability. Careful examination of an 8-year-old 
      Hispanic male revealed uncoordinated eye movements, lack of voluntary saccades, 
      head thrusts, and gross/fine motor delays all consistent with congenital ocular 
      motor apraxia. Torsional oscillations that resembled rotary nystagmus were also 
      present. These have not been previously reported in association with C-OMA. 
      Because young patients with this condition may appear to have cortical blindness, 
      C-OMA is an important differential to be aware of in making a diagnosis.
