Abstract
The authors examined five young children with monocular vision loss wh o developed monocular nystagmus. The nystagmus was of fast frequency a nd small amplitude in all fields of gaze. In four children, successful treatment of the cause of the vision loss resulted in cessation of th e nystagmus. No child showed signs of spasmus nutans, or of optic nerv e or chiasmal tumor. The evaluation of the young child with unilateral nystagmus should begin with a careful eye examination.
