A 38-year old man with asymptomatic monocular nystagmus Teaching NeuroImages Neurology Resident and Fellow Section © 2016 American Academy of Neurology

Vignette Complaining only of poor vision in his right eye for six years. Right visual acuity was 20/200 due to traumatic aphakia (cataract extraction without intraocular lens) and 20/20 in the left eye. An asymptomatic coarse, low frequency, pendular, vertical nystagmus was manifest of the right eye only. Nguyen, et al © 2016 American Academy of Neurology

Video Nguyen, et al Video legend : In primary gaze, the right eye was exotropic and exhibited a vertical pendular purely monocular nystagmus with a frequency of 1Hz and an amplitude of 8 to 10°. Despite the divergent strabismus, there was no limitation in eye movements, during which the nystagmus drastically dampened, but recovered immediately upon cessation. Despite the obvious monocular vertical pendular nystagmus, the patient did not complain of vertical oscillopsia, due to the markedly decreased visual acuity of his right eye.

The Heimann-Bielschowsky phenomenon (HBP): a harmless monocular nystagmus HBP is an asymptomatic monocular slow, pendular, mostly vertical nystagmus which can develop years after uniocular severe visual loss1. The pathogenesis of HBP is debated, but vertical fusion disruption due to monocular visual loss is hypothesized2. Recognizing HBP should prevent unnecessary investigations or treatments.
