Hi,
By what you say I feel that this particular patient may be having ataxia-telangiectasia.
In this particular problem, there will be an accumulation of blood vessels in the eyes along with balance problems, developmental delay and most probably seizures also.
I suggest that let her be evaluated in these lines and appropriately managed, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
