What Are the Clinical Features of Idiopathic Infantile Nystagmus?
Discussion
Nystagmus is “…an involuntary, periodic eye movement caused by a slow drift of fixation. This drift may be followed by a fast refixation saccade…or a slow movement back to fixation….” The pathological movement is the slow phase, but nystagmus is described by the fast phase (i.e. horizontal nystagmus, vertical nystagmus). Both eyes usually move synchronously. Patients may turn or tilt their heads to improve visual acuity.
Nystagmus is categorized into 3 groupings – physiologic such as gaze evoked, caloric or opto-kinetic nystagmus, acquired such as neurological or ophthalmolog...

How Common Is Bullous Myringitis?
Discussion
Bullous myringitis (BM) is felt to be a variation of acute otitis media (AOM) with more severe symptoms. Bullae (blisters or “balloons”) on the tympanic membrane occur between the outer epithelial layer and middle fibrous layers of the tympanic membrane. The exact reason for this is unknown but felt to be probably due to a strong inflammatory reaction in the middle ear begun by viral or bacterial pathogens. The pain is felt to be due to irritation of the highly innervated outer epithelial layer. The most common pathogens are the same as AOM but Streptococcus pneumoniae is detected more often. The b...
