Abstract
We report the case of an otherwise healthy 6-year-old girl presenting with poor visual acuity, photophobia, and abnormal eye and head movements who was initially diagnosed with spasmus nutans. A remote history of presumed viral cardiomyopathy and further electroretinography testing raised suspicion for Alström syndrome. She was diagnosed with a novel ALMS1 variant.
