    Purpose.To evaluate the structure of comorbid pathology in schoolchildren with congenital partial optic atrophy.

    Material and methods. Medical records of 120 children with congenital partial optic nerve atrophy (PONA) and 67 children in the control group without ophthalmopathology were observed and analyzed.

    Results.Obtained data demonstrated in the group of children with PONA compared with the control group a higher incidence of neurological pathology (14.9% in children with CANV versus 46.7% of children in the control group, p<0.001), as well as mental disorders, musculoskeletal diseases apparatus, gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system (p<0.05). In the structure of neurological pathology in children with PONA, minimal cerebral dysfunction syndrome (48.2%), cerebral palsy (17.9%) and vegetativevascular dystonia (17.9%) were more often observed.

    Conclusion. Thus, the results of the study indicate the need for the most complete comprehensive medical examination of children with PONA in order to develop the most effective medical and teaching support for schoolchildren with multiorgan pathology.

    Key words: partial optic nerve atrophy, comorbid pathology, congenital eye diseases in children.
