Ocular Findings in Children with Cerebral Palsy

Abstract

Objective: To determine the variety and frequency of ocular problems in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Materials and Methods: A total of 46 children with CP and 50 healthy children were included in the study. The age range of the children was between 5 months and 15 years. Complete ophthalmologic, orthoptic, psychiatric and neurologic examination of all children were performed and ocular findings were classified. Results: Refractive errors were the most frequently and ocular motility disorders were the second frequently detected ocular problems, and there was a statistically significant difference between CP and control group (p

Serebral Palsili Çocuklarda Göz Bulguları

Öz

Amaç: Serebral palsi'li (SP) çocuklarda göz bulgularının sıklığını ve çeşitliliğini belirlemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya SP tanısı almış 46 hasta ve kontrol grubu olarak da 50 sağlıklı çocuk dahil edildi. Hasta ve kontrol grubundaki çocukların yaşları 5 ay ile 15 yaş arası değişiyordu. Tüm çocukların komple oftalmolojik, ortoptik, psikiyatrik ve nörolojik muayeneleri yapılmış, göz bulguları sınıflandırılmıştır. Bulgular: En sık tesbit ettiğimiz göz problemi kırma kusurları, ikinci sıklıkta oküler motilite bozuklukları şeklindeydi ve SP ile kontrol grubu arasındaki fark da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde yüksekti (p
