Sentinel Nystagmus: The Key to Identifying Type II Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA2) in the Pediatric Setting
This case highlights the importance of a meticulous ophthalmologic examination and a high index of suspicion in pediatric care. The early finding of nystagmus can be the key to a timely diagnosis of OCA2. This allows for early intervention to optimize visual development and allows for multidisciplinary management and genetic counseling for the family. This case underscores the need for ongoing education in enhancing the early detection of OCA.
