| Abstract: | Spasmus nutans is an unusual neuro-ophthalmologic syndrome that affects infants. The clinical features of head nodding, nystagmus and head tilt are diagnostic although variability in their presentation is not uncommon. Computerized tomography of the head is recommended to rule out possible accompanying intracranial gliomas. |
