A Newly Defined, Common Ophthalmologic Condition Requires Special Neurological Attention

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A host of acquired abnormalities in visual function are known to occur in persons who suffer stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disorders. Cerebral visual impairment occurs in children with early neurological injury or disorders, especially neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury. With the improved survival of pre-term infants through meticulous neonatal intensive care unit care, cerebral visual impairment in children has become much more common in developed countries. In recent months a number of National Institutes of Health institutes and the American Academy of Pediatrics have brought new attention to this major public health problem, which is highly relevant to child neurologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, as well as the general neurologists who will care for affected individuals as they enter adulthood.
