[Modern possibilities of diagnosing lesions of the visual analyzer in perinatal lesions of the central nervous system in full-term and premature infants].

The article provides an overview of current neuro-ophthalmological diagnostic capabilities in patients with perinatal lesions. The main attention is paid to the diagnosis of patients with periventricular leukomalacia and peri- and intraventricular hemorrhages. The most relevant methods of neuro-ophthalmological diagnosis in hypoxic-ischemic CNS lesions are covered. The functions and peculiarities of blood supply of the germinal matrix are described. The importance of the use of optical coherence tomography and visual evoked potential recording in full-term and premature infants with visual pathway and/or visual cortex lesions in brain lesions is discussed. The conclusion emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary approach in the examination of children with perinatal CNS lesions.
