Abstract

Purpose:- To determine the causes and spectrum of ocular abnormalities in children with Cerebral palsy (CP). Methods:- A total of 80 children with cerebral palsy attending in Chittagong Eye Infirmary & Training Complex underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic and optometric examination. The examinations were consist of assessment of visual acuity, extra ocular motility, binocular single vision, accommodative status, anterior and posterior segment evaluation; Cycloplegic refraction and funduscopy were performed in all cases. Results:- A total 80 children aged between 06 months to 10 years (mean 2.31±2.18 years) with CP were included in the study, 67.5% were males and 32.5%were females .Majority of cases were spastic CP 43(53.8%). Intranatal assault (47.29%) comprises the major causes of CP. Ocular abnormalities were noticed in 94.7% of the children. The major ocular abnormalities were refractive errors 70 (87.7%) and strabismus 34 (42.5%). Conclusion:- Birth asphyxia due to prolonged labor causing convulsion is the main causes of CP. Ocular abnormalities are common among CP children. Early identification of treatable ocular defects and their treatment along conventional lines is emphasized. A full eye examination should be sought as soon as a diagnosis of CP is made and yearly thereafter.
