Abstract

Considering the classic triad of nystagmus, head bobbing, and torticollis in a young subject, the diagnosis of 'spasmus nutans' was entertained. Since there is no specific management for this condition and the condition is benign in nature, the patient was reassured. [ 7] Some investigators have observed concomitant deficiency of vitamin D and iron in some cases of spasmus nutans and these patients belonged to lower socioeconomic background.
