We examined temporal frequency curves by pattern visual evoked potential in 28 eyes suffering from retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The peak latency of the P100 component was 110.3 +/- 3.0 msec (S.E.), which was not significantly different from the 110.2 +/- 0.8 msec (S.E.) obtained from 60 normal control

โฆ Synopsis
Fifty patients with all genetic types of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) were tested with the visually evoked cortical potential (VECP) by full-field flashes of blue and red light in the dark-adapted state and white fight flashes in the light-adapted state. VECPs were recorded in all but one of these patients, even those with only a few degrees of central visual field remaining. In a subgroup of patients the absence of the VECP to blue light, dark-adapted, was correlated with a final dark-adapted threshold at or above cone threshold. These observations suggest that the VECP may be a useful objective method of assessment of patients with RP especially patients without detectable ERGs.

Albinism is a congenital condition in which hypopigmentation occurs. In addition to this abnormality there is a misrouting of the optic nerve fibers, with some fibers from the temporal retina following a crossed route at the chiasma and terminating in the contralateral cortical hemisphere.
