INTRODUCTION

See-saw nystagmus (SSN) is an uncommon disorder, characterized by a rotatory nystagmus, with the eyes moving conjugately clockwise and then counterclockwise. The torsional movements are accompanied by disconjugate vertical oscillations. The intorting eye elevates while the opposite eye, which is extorting, falls ⁽¹⁾. Acquired SSN most often occurs with parasellar or chiasmal mass lesions, but has been associated with cerebrovascular disease in the brainstem, head injury ⁽²⁾, Arnold-Chiari malformation ⁽³⁾, Syringomyelia, Syringobulbia, Multiple Sclerosis ⁽⁴⁾ Septo-optic dysplasia ⁽⁵⁾. Thus far, there have been no reports of an association with Neurosarcoidosis (NS). We present a patient with see-saw nystagmus and NS.
