Cerebral versus cortical visual impairment: eliminating the conflict and renewing the terminology.

ABSTRACT

The inconsistency in terminology for Cortical Visual Impairment or Cerebral Visual Impairment presents challenges (1) different levels of changes in visual pathway and other cerebral areas do not allow discrimination; (2) different visual and oculomotor aspects are not adequately considered. We open a debate to consider a more appropriate diagnosis.
