Rezumat

Introduction. Brain injury may affect both afferent and efferent visual pathways. In children it is quite difficult to determine visual disturbances since they are often non cooperative. Visual field examination is an objective evaluation method that can outline visual pathway alteration in the acute period of head trauma. Materials and methods. Forty-eight patients with persisting visual symptoms after mild traumatic brain injury were examined. A control group of the same size has been evaluated. Results. Patients in the research group showed an obvious alteration of the fixation capacity of more than 20% in 91.7%95.8%, while in the control group the fixation capacity was up to 20% in 68.7%-70.8%. The ability to fix false positive points was up to 20% in 43.8%-45.8% patients in the research group and 70.8%-83.3% in the control group. The rate to fix false negative points was within the range of up to 20% for the research group in 93.7%-95.8% and the control group 91.7%-97.9%. The index of localized defects was up to 3dB in 62.5%-70.8% in the research group and predominantly 91.6%-95.8% for the control group. The average elevation index was within the range of < -3dB, 3dB> in 12.5%-20.8% research group and respectively 54.1%-56.2% control group. The graphic interpretation of changes in the visual field revealed a prevalence of the incidence of diffuse retinal depression with relative paracentral scotomas in 64.6%-68.7%. Conclusions. Based on the results, we can conclude that perimetric examination in the case of brain injured pediatric patients fulfils the requirements of credibility. Perimetric examination could be a landmark in the initial phase of settling post brain injured visual disturbances.
