摘要
Pediatric neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty within neuro-ophthalmology.Pediatric neuro-ophthalmic diseases must be considered separate from their adult counterparts,due to the distinctive nature of the examination,clinical presentations,and management choices.This manuscript will highlight four common pediatric neuro-ophthalmic disorders by describing common clinical presentations,recommended management,and highlighting recent developments.Diseases discussed include pediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension(IIH),pseudopapilledema,optic neuritis(ON)and optic pathway gliomas(OPG).The demographics,diagnosis and management of common pediatric neuro-ophthalmic disease require a working knowledge of the current research presented herein.Special attention should be placed on the differences between pediatric and adult entities such that children can be appropriately diagnosed and treated.
