Title What to Expect? Neuro-Ophthalmic Outcomes in Pediatric Brain Tumor Survivors
Creator Yin Allison Liu, MD, PhD
Affiliation University of California, Davis, Sacramento, CA
Subject Visual Sequelae; Children; Primary Brain Tumors; Strabismus; Neuro-Ophthalmic Exams
Description Visual sequelae in pediatric primary brain tumors are a critical concern, with as many as 90% of affected children experiencing such issues, even if only 10-15% report visual complaints. The most common sequelae include strabismus and visual acuity impairment. Detecting these problems early is paramount, and serial neuro-ophthalmic exams are strongly recommended for all children with brain tumors. These exams enable healthcare providers to monitor changes in vision and make timely interventions to mitigate potential long-term visual impairments. Understanding the prevalence and nature of these visual sequelae is vital for healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care to pediatric brain tumor patients.
