| Description |
Brain tumors are the leading cause of death from childhood cancer. Overall survival has improved due to earlier detection, better therapies, and improved surveillance. Permanent sequelae of the tumor and its treatment may cause severe impairment and decreased quality of life (QOL). Visual dysfunction and impaired vision-related QOL (VR-QOL) are often not recognized in children because of examination difficulty and lack of awareness. We reviewed the literature and evaluated visual impairment and its effects on QOL in an ongoing quality improvement project. |
