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.
