Purpose

To evaluate visual function in children with cerebral visual impairment (cerebral visual impairment) from various causes, examine its relationship with the severity of cerebral involvement using a semi-quantitative MRI scoring system (sqMRI), and compare the results with strabismic controls without visual impairment.

Methods

This retrospective study included children diagnosed with cerebral visual impairment and controls without cerebral visual impairment who were followed for strabismus.

n = Forty-two children with CVI and 40
partial r = 0.78
Results
partial r = 0.78
worse brain scan damage strongly predicts worse eyesight
n = Forty-two children with CVI and 40
More results

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy was the most common cause (26.1%).

Children with cerebral visual impairment had significantly lower gestational ages, birth weights, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (mean 0.28 ± 0.17 logMAR) compared to controls (0.05 ± 0.05 logMAR) (p < 0.001).

More results

The sqMRI scores showed significant correlation with BCVA, especially in the basal ganglia, thalamus, hemispheric, subcortical, and total MRI scores ( p < 0.05).

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

A strong, prematurity-independent correlation was observed between sqMRI scores and visual impairment in a clinically diverse cerebral visual impairment population.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

These findings suggest that sqMRI scoring could be a useful additional tool for visual prognosis and early rehabilitation planning.
