Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess grating visual acuity and functional vision in children with congenital Zika syndrome.

Methods: Initial and final grating visual acuity was measured using Teller acuity cards. Cerebral vision impairment standardized tests were used to assess functional vision. Patients were referred to the early visual intervention program for visually disabled children. Neuroimaging was performed.

Results: In this study, 10 children were included with an age range of 1-37 months. Eight patients presented with macular atrophic scars. Neuroimaging revealed microcephaly and cerebral abnormalities in all patients. Low vision and cerebral vision impairment characteristics were observed in all children. The final grating visual acuity in this group varied from 3.00 to 0.81 logMAR.

Conclusions: The grating visual acuity test revealed low vision in all children with congenital Zika syndrome. Functional vision evaluation revealed cerebral vision impairment characteristics in all patients, who were referred to the early visual intervention program. Visual acuity improved in six children.

先天性寨卡综合征患儿的早期视觉干预、视觉功能分析和光栅视力结果。

目的：本研究旨在评估先天性寨卡综合征患儿的光栅视力和功能视力：方法：使用特勒视力卡测量初始和最终光栅视力。大脑视力损伤标准化测试用于评估功能性视力。患者被转介至视力残疾儿童早期视觉干预项目。进行了神经影像学检查：本研究共纳入 10 名儿童，年龄在 1-37 个月之间。八名患者出现黄斑萎缩性疤痕。神经影像学检查显示，所有患者均有小头畸形和大脑异常。所有患儿均有低视力和大脑视力受损的特征。该组患儿的最终光栅视力从 3.00 到 0.81 logMAR 不等：结论：光栅视力测试显示，所有先天性寨卡综合征患儿均存在低视力。功能性视力评估显示，所有患儿均存在脑性视力障碍，并被转介至早期视力干预项目。6名儿童的视力得到改善。
