[Disorders of the nervous system and alteration of the fundus oculi].
OBJECTIVE
To show the neurological disorders associated with ocular changes mainly affecting retina and which can be seen during the first year of age.


METHODS
It is used the personal experience and the reported papers of the literature related with the subject to make a short review of the main neurological, biochemical, radiological and genetical alterations as well as the peculiarities of the lesions that we can see by the ocular fundus exploration, and we try to show through images the retinal alterations associated with the neurological diseases of very young children.


CONCLUSIONS
The retinal alterations that we can see by ocular fundus exploration can lead us to an early neurological diagnosis.
