Abstract
Introduction: Assessment of the visual field is an integral part of the clinical neurological examination of children with therapy refractory epilepsies. Especially in the field of epilepsy surgery, the evaluation of any preoperatively existing visual field defects is important with regards to surgical planning and the risk estimation of additional postoperative deficits. However, performing a formal perimetry or a clinical visual field examination using confrontation techniques is often not possible in children with therapy refractory epilepsies due to young age of the patients, cognitive impairment, or lack of cooperation. We report first experience with visual functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) examinations under general anesthesia.
