Optic Nerve Hypoplasia Treatment in Iran: coordinating care between eye, hormone and brain specialists
ONH often involves more than one body system. This guide explains how to bring the specialists together and build a written care plan, including an emergency plan.
One condition, several specialists
When ONH occurs with septo-optic dysplasia, the pituitary gland or midline brain structures may be affected. A child may need an eye doctor, a hormone specialist, a neurologist and a developmental team.
These specialists often work in different clinics. A parent-held care plan keeps everyone informed and prevents gaps.
What the care plan should include
A single folder for the whole team.
- Diagnosis summaryONH, associated findings and dates.
