We observed the attacks of
nystagmus
in a case of infantile spasms and carried out overnight sleep polygraphy. The following findings were obtained: (1) Awake time was prolonged to 56% of TIB, while sleep time was markedly shortened to 44% of TIB. Also REM sleep time was reduced to 20% of
SPT
and deep slow sleep (stage N3) was absent. (2) Attacks of
nystagmus
were observed only during wakefulness. At first, fast wave bursts appeared in the right occipital area, and were followed by left-upward deviations of eyeballs, and then the attacks of counterclockwise right-downward rotatory
nystagmus
. Also the fast wave bursts were succeeded by spreading of fast waves to adjacent areas. At the same time, EMG exhibited elevated muscle action potentials of mentalis and biceps femoris. During the attacks of
nystagmus
, there was alteration of respiratory movements. In NREM sleep, both fast wave bursts and the attacks of
nystagmus
were not observed. In REM sleep, the fast wave bursts and eye movements were observed but the attacks of
nystagmus
did not appear. During the fast wave bursts, alteration of respiratory movements were observed. From the results of this study, it was presumed that the brain lesions of this case were extended with severe degree of damage in the great parts of brain containing cerebral cortex and brain stem.
