RESUMO
Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is one of the most common causes of congenital visual impairment. It was first described in 1915 and represents a developmental disorder of the central nervous system. It is often associated with intracranial midline defects and is then referred to as septo-optic dysplasia (SOD). The symptoms of ONH range from minimal visual dysfunction to significant visual impairment with sensory defect nystagmus and even blindness. The ONH is often associated with further systemic, endocrinological and neurological abnormalities requiring a close interdisciplinary treatment of the patients.
