AbstrakAnak-anak dengan cortical visual impairment (CVI) pada umumnya mempunyai hasil pemeriksaan okular yang normal disamping penurunan ketajaman penglihatan dan respon pupil yang normal. Penyebab dari CVI bisa kongenital atau didapat. Penyebab prenatal dan perinatal termasuk hipoksia atau iskemia (periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) adalah bentuk yang paling umum dari kerusakan hipoksia pada bayi prematur dan PVL bisa mengakibatkan cerebral palsy), infeksi intrauteri, perdarahan intrakranial, kelainan struktur sistem saraf pusat, kejang dan hidrosefalus. Penyebab yang didapat termasuk trauma yang tidak disengaja, trauma kepala akibat penganiayaan, infeksi seperti meningitis, ensefalitis dan sepsis. Penelitian ini untuk mendiskripsikan profil kasus CVI di RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang dari tahun 2012-2015. Data diperoleh dari rekam medis 26 pasien yang didiagnosa dengan CVI selama 2012-2015. Rasio laki-laki dan perempuan adalah 57,69% : 42,31%. Ditemukan kelainan kongenital pada 17 pasien (65,38%) dan kelainan yang didapat pada 9 pasien (34,61%). Kelainan kongenital yang ditemukan : hipoksia pada 5 kasus ( 1 kasus dengan leucomalacia periventrikular dan 4 kasus dengan cerebral palsy) (29,41%), kelainan dari struktur sistem saraf pusat pada 4 kasus (23,52%), kejang pada 4 kasus (23,52%), perdarahan intrakranial pada 2 kasus (11,76%), dan infeksi intrauterin, hidrosefalus 1 kasus untuk masing-masing etiologi (5,88%). Kelainan yang didapat adalah meningitis pada 8 kasus (88,89% dan ensefalitis dalam 1 kasus (11,11%). Di RSUP dr. M. Djamil Padang, etiologi kongenital yang paling umum adalah hipoksia dan etiologi yang didapat adalah meningitis.

Visual impairment and Cerebral Palsy is often a significant component of multiple handicapping conditions affecting individuals. Early identification of visual impairment and treatment helps the children overall development in the sensory and motor skills through vision training. Often the visual problems are not noticed and seems unidentified due to the primary disability of Cerebral Palsy .Identification of the visual conditions like Cortical visual impairment, Field loss and visual problems of refractive errors and Strabismus at the early stage and the constant training in the visual skills will improve their functional vision and skills to a great extent. The purpose of the study is to identify the prevalence of visual conditions among cerebral palsy and the impact of the vision training in the visual skills of the children with cerebral palsy. In this descriptive study , purposive sampling techniques was used on 30 children having eye conditions of  Cortical visual impairment, Refractive errors who underwent complete clinical and functional assessment at vasan eye care hospital ,Chennai were included in this study. This study states that children with the secondary problems of eye conditions need to be diagnosed at the earliest so that their visual skills on optical and optical perceptual skills may be improved to a great extend especially in their educational activities. The evaluation and management of the visual problems of this population can therefore greatly facilitate their rehabilitation. A thorough clinical assessment coupled with a functional evaluation was useful in planning suitable rehabilitation for these children in a comprehensive manner.

We thank Drs Good et al for their interest in our recent article. We did not find any children blinded by cortical visual impairment, although one child was suspected to have this problem in infancy, only to improve later in childhood. That child also had cerebral palsy. The children in our study have been followed-up not only by the ophthalmologist, but the majority of them have also had their growth and development assessed by an experienced follow-up team.
