Integrating Functional MRI Information into the Educational Plan of a Child with Cerebral Visual Impairment: A Case Study
Furze, Melody Zagami; Phillips, John P.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v112 n5 p532-540 Sep-Oct 2018
"Cerebral visual impairment" (CVI) is defined as vision impairment that occurs as a result of bilateral dysfunction of the optic radiations or visual cortex or both. It can coexist with ocular and ocular motor disorders, and it can also be the result of perinatal brain dysfunction or can be caused by trauma (Roman et al., 2010). CVI is the leading cause of visual impairment (that is, blindness or low vision) in children in the developed world, with impairments ranging from mild visual processing difficulties to total blindness. New MRI techniques offer unique information that complements functional visual assessments. This research report describes the results of functional neuroimaging in a child whose visual impairment related to a large congenital stroke, and the integration of that information into her educational plan.
