title: Ocular complications of head injury in children.
abstract: Ocular complications occurred in 28% of children with head injury. Neuro-ophthalmological lesions made up one-third of these complications, mostly involved the optic nerve, and were associated with other focal neurological signs more frequently than non-neural ocular complications. Lesions of the posterior visual pathways were rare but tended to be permanent.
