Congenital Ocular Motor Apraxia
What are the symptoms?
Infants may at first appear blind but later develop characteristic head movements to shift gaze (head thrusts). Infants may be hypotonic with mild motor delay. Ataxia may persist. Speech development may be slow requiring speech therapy, and reading problems may occur. Typically the abnormal head movements subside as the child learns to make blinks to help move the eyes which can make detection of the condition difficult in the older child. Eye movement recordings confirm the condition.
