Introduction[edit | edit source]

Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) occurs in children with cerebral palsy or developmental delay. [1] Children with CVI have been frequently diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP). Despite the importance of early diagnosis, there is no tool to diagnose CVI and one referral criteria guideline. [1] The challenge in early diagnosis comprise a wide range of visual dysfunctions that are present in CVIs. They include central and peripheral vision dysfunction, dysfunctions in movement perception, gaze control, visual guidance of movement, visual attention, attentional orientation in space, visual analysis and recognition, visual memory and spatial cognition which can affect child's learning and social interactions. [2]This article presents an overview of CVI and its relationship with cerebral palsy.

Definitions[edit | edit source]

Cerebral Visual Impairment[edit | edit source]

Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) is “a verifiable visual dysfunction, which cannot be attributed to disorders of the anterior visual pathways or any potentially co-occurring ocular impairment.” [3]

Cerebral Palsy[edit | edit source]

Cerebral Palsy (CP) "describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture causing activity limitation, which are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain."[4]

Brain Involvement in Vision[edit | edit source]

The boy wants to catch the ball:

He sees the ball , the frontal lobe of the brain decides the action (What?catching ball) and strategy (How?)
