About one month later he had fever and a convulsive attack, and entered the Intensive Care Department of our hospital, where an ECG showed a AVB; a temporary pacemaker was applied (Cardiology Division, Monaldi Hospital) and complete amaurosis.

In both eyes, healthy annexes, fixed mydriasi of the eye and the eye not reactive to light, transparent dioptric structures, at the ret No I am not a doctod, just desperate to help a child. Where have you gone so far? Its sounds like you've covered some specific Cardiac and Occular places. Have you checked wih Peds specific specialties?
What's the CC right now? If the problem is still cardiac, have you seen a Pediatric Cardiologist? Has the Fever been knocked out? If the issue is still occullar AND you feel the medical staff don't have your child's best interest, get a second opinion from another Opthalmologist from a different location.
I will admit, vision is not my best area.
G-Dspeed in your child's recovery. Are you a doctor? Then why are you asking the general public this question, you should know the answer!!!!! |
