Cecocentral scotomas: Causes, symptoms, and treatment options

Chris Dave

Cecocentral scotomas are a type of visual field defect that can result from damage to the optic nerve or certain areas of the brain. These scotomas are characterized by a blind spot in the center of the visual field, which can significantly impact a person's ability to see and perform everyday tasks. The severity and extent of the scotoma depend on the underlying cause and location of the damage. Cecocentral scotomas can be caused by a variety of conditions, including glaucoma, optic neuritis, stroke, and tumors. Treatment options may include medication, surgery, or visual aids to help individuals with cecocentral scotomas adapt to their visual impairment. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent further vision loss and improve quality of life.
