2. 1. Visual dysfunction and ocular signs associated with periventricular leukomalacia in children born preterm

   Author : Lena Jacobson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : preterm; retinopathy of prematurity; periventricular leukornalacia; magnetic resonance imaging; delayed visual maturation; visual acuity; crowding; visual field; cognitive visual dysfunction; optic disc; cupping; eye movements; nystagmus; strabismus; reading;

   Abstract : The immature visual system is vulnerable to adverse events in infants born preterm. Both retinopathy of prematurity and periventricular leukomalacia may affect visual function and ocular appearance. READ MORE

4. 2. Development of visual-motor coordination in children with neurological dysfunctions

   Author : Şermin Tükel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Graphomotor skills are complex perceptual-motor skills that are dependent upon the maturation and integration of a number of cognitive, perceptual and motor skills. They gradually develop through practice and instruction, and require good communication between the visual and the motor systems. READ MORE

5. 3. A longitudinal study of cognitive changes after surgical treatment for epilepsy

   Author : Elisabeth Engman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Epilepsy surgery; general neurocognitive status; memory; group change; individual heterogeneity;

   Abstract : Epilepsy surgery is a valuable therapeutic option for some patients with pharmaco-resistant partial epilepsy, but resection of cortical tissue carries a risk of creating or worsening a dysfunction. Therefore pre-and postoperative levels of cognitive function are systematically monitored in epilepsy surgery programs. READ MORE

6. 4. Visual function in very low birth weight adolescents : fifteen-year follow-up of children in southeast Sweden

   Author : Kerstin Hellgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Very low birth weight (VLBW < 1500 g) carries an increased risk of visual and cognitive deficits. Long term follow-up studies are sparse. The associations between neural structure and visual and cognitive outcome need to be more fully explored. READ MORE

7. 5. Posterior ocular malformations in children : teratological aspects

   Author : Kristina Teär Fahnehjelm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Teratology; ocular malformations; visual impairment; anti-epileptic drugs; congenital infection; optic nerve hypoplasia; coloboma; magnetic resonance imaging; neonatal cholestasis; dried blood spots;

   Abstract : Posterior ocular malformations are common causes of visual impairment in Swedish children. The most frequent diagnoses within this group are optic nerve hypoplasia and optic nerve/chorioretinal coloboma. Genetic factors, teratogens like medical/addictive drugs or congenital infections and unknown factors may cause these malformations. READ MORE
