Treatment of periodic alternating nystagmus

Ann Neurol. 1980 Dec;8(6):609-11. doi: 10.1002/ana.410080611.

Abstract

Two patients with longstanding acquired periodic alternating nystagmus (PAN) were treated with baclofen, 30 mg/day. Baclofen abolished the PAN and relieved oscillopsia in both patients but was ineffective in another patient with congenital PAN.
