雙癱型腦性麻痺兒童之腦傷型態與視知覺缺損
Abstract
Visual perception is the ability to manipulate and integrate the visual information received by brain. Early damage involving the structures of visual perception in the brain will give rise to visual perceptual impairment. The periventricular area is one of those structures related to visual perception. Nearly all preterm infants with spastic diplegia exhibit cystic periventricular leukomalacia. Therefore, it has been wondered if children with diplegic cerebral palsy were at risk of visual perceptual impairment. In fact, behavioral studies have shown that many children with diplegic cerebral palsy demonstrate weakness in some subtests of visual perceptual evaluation. Visual closure, figure-ground, and spatial rotation are subtests that are adopted most in the literature. Those published results reveal that children with diplegic cerebral palsy have visual perceptual impairment both in object vision and spatial vision. Further connection between brain structure and visual perception will be substantiated in this reviewarticle.
