Abstract

The latent nystagmus seems to be absent when both eyes are open, but on covering one eye, bilateral jerky nystagmus is evoked with the fast phase toward the uncovered eye. The confirmed diagnosis of latent nystagmus can be made with the aid of the Electro-oculography (EOG). On EOG recording, we experienced a case of latent nystagmus in light, which showed the characteristics of infantile nystagmus in darkness.
