Neuropediatric action protocol.

  • Transfontanelar ultrasound (in children under 6 months with ultrasound window).
  • Fundus of the eye (fundamental).
  • PEV flash (optional).
  • Neurological and dysmorphological examination, with special attention to dyschromia.
  • Referral to early care regardless of neurodevelopment (neurodevelopmental risk).

Based on the previous findings, assess the indication for neuroimaging testing.

  • MRI with sedation.
  • Genetic.

Red flag signs
• Later onset nystagmus (in the absence of signs in keeping with an ocular disorder).
