A rare neurologic disease characterized by significant visual dysfunction that cannot be explained by ocular abnormalities alone and is due to damage to post-chiasmatic visual pathways and structures during early perinatal development. Signs and symptoms include decreased visual acuity, visual field defects, and impairments in visual processing and attention.
