The Maturation of Vestibular Nystagmus in Infancy and Childhood

摘要: The displacements, durations, and velocities of the slow fast components both primary secondary nystagmus induced by constant angular acceleration were measured in 46 normal children 1 month to 11 years old. There significant changes parameters respect maturation. young infant had larger amplitude, higher velocity beats than older child during nystagmus. Parameters describing reached their peak values terminated earlier child. Although component was much slower at all ages, nystagmus/primary ratio significantly greater early infancy. Thus, infancy, as compared with later childhood, vigor disproportionately These results discussed relation maturat...
