My daughter (birthdate 10/2007) woke up from a nap yesterday and could not see a thing. I know that she was fully awake because she can tell me what happened and remembers without any coaching. She regained her sight within 2-3 minutes. I took her to the ER and they did not do any tests and said that they did not want to sedate her in order to do any imaging tests. I took her to her pediatrician today who again did no testing and referred us to a pediatric neurologist. My daugher's pediatrician also said that if we can't get an appointment for up to six weeks that would be ok because this is not a life and death issue. My question is, should I be doing something differently? Could she have bleeding in her brain or anything urgent that should be looked in to, or is the wait for the neurologist acceptable??
it is not bleeding from brain. is a temporary loss of vision may be due to transient ischemia or hypoxia. general checkup of her health be done. you can get her vision tested by eye doctor and fund us examination can be done. rest of thing can be done when you get proper appointment.
