Scope note: Movimientos involuntarios del ojo que se dividen en dos tipos, periódico y pendular. El nistagmo periódico tiene una fase lenta en una dirección seguida de una fase correctora rápida en sentido opuesto y generalmente está producido por una disfunción central o periférica vestibular. El nistagmo pendular se caracteriza por oscilaciones de igual velocidad en ambas direcciones y esta afección se asocia con frecuencia con la existencia de ceguera a edades tempranas de la vida.

Scope note: Involuntary movements of the eye that are divided into two types, jerk and pendular. Jerk nystagmus has a slow phase in one direction followed by a corrective fast phase in the opposite direction, and is usually caused by central or peripheral vestibular dysfunction. Pendular nystagmus features oscillations that are of equal velocity in both directions and this condition is often associated with visual loss early in life. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p272)
