Empleo de toxina botulínica en paciente con nistagmus congénito de tipo pendular

Abstract

Caso clínico: Se presenta el el caso de un varón de 5 meses de edad, diagnosticado de nistagmus congénito y albinismo oculocutáneo. En la exploración inicial se evidenció un nistagmus horizontal pendular de gran amplitud sin posición de bloqueo ni períodos de fijación foveal. Se realizó una inyección de 2,5 UI de toxina botulínica en los músculos rectos horizontales de ambos ojos en dos sesiones separadas por 6 semanas permitiendo una disminución de la amplitud del nistagmus y un desarrollo inicial de la agudeza visual binocular de 4,8 ciclos/cm. Conclusión: Ante el diagnóstico de nistagmus horizontal en etapas precoces del desarrollo, de amplitud tal que impida períodos de fijación foveal, el empleo de toxina botulínica permite una disminución temporal en la amplitud del mismo y una mejoría de la agudeza visual con baja tasa de complicaciones. Ante la posibilidad descrita de mejoría espontánea de estos pacientes, especialmente durante el primer año de vida, son necesarios estudios con mayor tiempo de seguimiento para establecer la ventaja de este tratamiento a largo plazo.
