Adams-Nance Syndrome is a neurological condition caused by a rare genetic mutation. Movement disorders (such as dystonia or choreoathetosis), strabismus (crossed eyes), nystagmus (involuntary eye movements), anomalies of the corpus callosum (the bundle of nerve fibers connecting the two hemispheres of the brain), non-specific facial dysmorphism (unusual facial features), and cortical blindness (loss of vision due to dazzle) are all neurological symptoms associated with this condition (seizures).

Adams–Nance Syndrome Signs & Symptoms Mnemonics :

  • A – Ataxia (uncoordinated movement)
  • D – Developmental delay

  • M – Movement disorders (such as dystonia or choreoathetosis)
  • S – Strabismus (crossed eyes)
  • N – Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements)
  • A – Anomalies of the corpus callosum (the bundle of nerve fibers that connects the two hemispheres of the brain)
  • N – Non-specific facial dysmorphism (unusual facial features)
  • C – Cortical blindness (loss of vision due to damage to the brain’s visual cortex)
  • E – Epilepsy (seizures)
