You or your child’s pediatrician may notice problems with your child’s eye alignment or movement. A routine eye exam and a more thorough exam by a pediatric ophthalmologist will help pinpoint the condition.
At Children’s National, we may recommend further testing to find out what is causing the cranial nerve palsies, as follows:
- Diagnostic imaging, including CT and MRI scans of the brain and orbits
- Blood pressure and blood tests to check for diabetes, high blood pressure or thyroid disease
