title: [Vision disorders in children with acquired severe brain damage].
abstract: 27 children with severe brain injuries were examined by an ophthalmologist and had several paediatric examinations during an eight or ten weeks' course of rehabilitation. With highly reduced levels of consciousness they had hardly any cortical visual function but frequently had brainstem controlled reactions of eyelids, pupils and eyeballs. The development of these reactions was followed up and correlated to the recovering visual functions. Some of the palpebral reflexes seemed to be of prognostic significance to the reappearance of cortical visual functions.
