Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetically heterogenous disorder caused by disruption to the melanin biosynthesis pathway, affecting approximately 1 in 20,000 individuals worldwide (1). OCA has an autosomal recessive inheritance characterized by reduced pigmentation of the hair, skin, and eyes. Nonsyndromic OCA can be subdivided into 7 main types (OCA1-7), based on the genetic mutation.Ocular characteristics of OCA demonstrate significant phenotypic variability and can include iris transillumination defects (TIDs), fundus hypopigmentation, foveal hypoplasia, and optic nerve decussation defects (1, 2). Nystagmus is often associated with OCA; however, it typically demonstrates a conjugate, horizontal, jerk waveform with increasing slow-phase velocities. We describe a rare presentation of intermittent torsional nystagmus in an individual with genetically confirmed OCA, initially masquerading as spasmus nutans.
