Loss of vision due to left brain damage in a child. What can be done?

Question

Hello doctor,

I want to ask for my baby. She is one year old. Four months back, we met (my family) in a road accident. My baby's left brain got damaged, and a little blood clot is there. The doctor has done one surgery.

After the surgery, she lost her vision. Now she cannot see. The doctors said maybe she will get vision within one or two years. But not sure.

What can we do? Are there any specialty hospitals or medical services available?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Your baby is suffering from damage to the optic nerve resulting from trauma to the head. The remaining potential in the optic nerve can be determined by a test called VER, visual evoked response, in which a light stimulus is provided, and the corresponding electrical response in the brain is measured.

You can get back to us with the test results for further discussion.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
