[The relation among functional vision, neuropsychological development, NMR and visual evoked potential in visual cerebral impairments].

UNLABELLED: The goal of the research is the evaluation of a complex and multidisciplinary assessment model medical and psychological, of children age 0 and 9 years old with neurological disorders with risk for cerebral visual impairments (CVI), in the frame of longitudinal and prospectively studies. The methods of complex assessment of children with CVI are the following: ophthalmological assessment; psychological assessment of general development on different area; functional vision assessment. These clinical methods are completed by para-clinical ones through magnetic resonance imaging and visual evoked potential. The results revealed the existence of a powerful and significant correlation among the level of brain damage and functional vision level involved in communication and achievement of different and concrete visual tasks.

CONCLUSIONS

The cerebral visual impairment represents a severe degradation of vision, in spite of visual clinical behaviours, which can not explain and justify the severity of functional vision loss. But the complex assessment method proposed in the frame of this research underlined relevant information related with the general developmental level of children, the functional vision level and disease prognostic.
