    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental biology

    Background:

    • Early-onset blindness in infants can be a significant concern for parents and clinicians.
    • Distinguishing transient visual impairments from permanent conditions is crucial for appropriate management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the underlying causes and developmental trajectory of transient blindness in infants.
    • To evaluate the utility of visual electro-diagnostic studies in diagnosing and monitoring visual pathway abnormalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Case study of three infants diagnosed with blindness within the first four months of life.
    • Comprehensive neurological and ophthalmological examinations.
    • Visual electro-diagnostic studies including electroretinography and visually-evoked potentials (VEPs).

    Main Results:

    • Neurological and ophthalmological exams were normal in all infants.
    • Electroretinography showed normal retinal responses.
    • Visually-evoked responses indicated delayed cortical conduction and impaired occipital processing.

    Conclusions:

    • Transient blindness in infants can be associated with temporary visual pathway delays.
    • Visual electro-diagnostic studies are valuable in identifying subclinical abnormalities.
    • Full visual recovery is possible, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring.
