Childhood cerebral visual impairment subtype classification based on an extensive versus a limited test battery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To classify CVI subtypes and compare the added value of an extensive test battery over a limited test battery in subtype classification of cerebral visual impairment (CVI) in children.

Methods

Seventy-five children with a clinical diagnosis of CVI (median [IQR] age: 9 [7-12] years) were identified from the medical records. The extensive test battery included visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, ocular alignment, eye movement analysis, visual field analysis, optic nerve head evaluation, and evaluation of visual perception. The limited test battery included visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, ocular alignment, and evaluation of visual perception. Principal component analysis (PCA) followed by cluster analysis was done, for both test batteries separately, to determine
