This is a follow-up on the question that I posted yesterday. My 15 month old just went to see her opthamologist (who is refering her to another opthamologist), and she was able to rule out any problems with her optic nerve, but she does want her to get checked for CN6 Palsy. This requires an MRI, and because of her age, she would have to be under general anaesthesia. I really do not like the sound of that. I was wondering if it is imperative that she get the MRI, or if it would be something that is just for a diagnosis, and it won't hurt her to not have it, or at least put it off for a couple of years. If the condition is indeed CN6 Palsy, is that something that will get worse or pose a serious medical problem for her? I really do not want her to face the risks of the anaesthesia, but I don't want to risk her other health, either.
Thank You.
