Background

One of the key factors for enhancing outcomes in neurorehabilitation of patients with congenital or acquired brain injury is optimal sensory function and identification of possible visual dysfunctions.

Methods

This is a retrospective analysis of patients at the Swiss Children's Rehab who received an ophthalmological consultation between January 2019 and December 2024.

n = 163 patients
62%
Results
62%
ophthalmology exam found a vision problem in most children checked
n = 163 patients
More results

A total of 229 consultations from 163 patients were reviewed.

The two most common causes for admission were traumatic (41/163) and inflammatory (36/163) conditions.

Congenital disease was present in 30 patients.

Cerebral visual impairment was prevalent in 22% of the pathological findings in this study.

“
Conclusion

Ophthalmological assessment is recommended for all children with suspected visual dysfunction as part of the rehabilitation process.
