N2  - From a group of 101 children, eleven (10.9 p.c. ranging in age from 4--12) reported transient visual disturbances such as blurred vision, grey vision or photopsias immediately after a light head trauma. As to the origin of these impediments all evidence points to the occipital areas. Oculopupillary defects or pathological nystagmus phenomena were in no case associated. The frequency of pathological EEG recording over the occipital area was statistically significant (chi-quadrat = 4.27; p less than or equal to 0.05). The pathogenetic mechanism may be explained by means of a local oedematous reaction.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
