General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

The nystagmus and vision problems in child following Ventouse delivery is related to cerebral hypoxia produced during the procedure of prolong labour. The long term deficiency of oxygen to certain parts of the brain bring various types of reversible as well as irreversible changes depending upon the degree of anoxia or hypoxia. The clinical examination from neurological point of view is important along with keeping a track over the developmental milestones of motor, sensory and cognitive function lines.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
