Introduction: We aimed to identify structural brain abnormalities associated with idiopathic congenital nystagmus. Methods: Voxel-based morphometry was used to compare the gray matter brain volumes of 14 individuals with idiopathic congenital nystagmus to those of a group of controls. Further, gray matter brain volumes were correlated with nystagmus intensity. Results: Intergroup comparison exhibited significant volume increases in the human motion sensitive complex V5/MT+, the fusiform gyrus, and the middle occipital gyrus bilaterally in congenital nystagmus. A positive correlation (linear model) of nystagmus i…
