Abstract
Downbeat nystagmus in primary position and oscillopsia resulted from nutritional deficiency during prolonged intravenous therapy of a patient with hyperemesis gravidarum. Wide bandwidth infrared oculography demonstrated a pseudocycloid nystagmus waveform with an increasing‐velocity exponential slow phase. Because the oscillopsia decreased and the nystagmus was damped with convergence, visual acuity improved with the addition of base‐out prisms to each spectacle lens.
