Abstract
Voluntary nystagmus is a pendular, rapid, conjugate, primarily horizontal, benign nystagmus initiated and maintained by voluntary effort. The amplitude was variable, but always low. The rate was constant and rapid. Convergence was variable, apparently essential in some, nonessential in others, but related in all the cases. This condition appeared to have a familial component and was more common than originally thought. Voluntary nystagmus should be considered when dealing with any patient exhibiting nystagmus in order to minimize the possibility of misdiagnosis as occurred in one of these cases.
