✦ Synopsis

The visual evoked potential (VEP) results for 404 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are presented. In 171 patients pattern reversal with light-emitting diode (PR (LED)) VEPs and in 85 patients pattern reversal with TV (PR(TV)) VEPs also were investigated. The pathologic process of MS affects the amplitude and latency of all components and the form and symmetry of responses. A complex evaluation of VEP is proposed instead of measurement of only one component. A combined flash and pattern presentation VEP evaluation may be as effective as PREPs in the detection of subclinical lesions. PR(LED) VEP seems to be more sensitive to the degree of visual disturbance and to the clinical probability of MS than the PR(TV) VEP. A statistical analysis disclosed correlation of VEP amplitude and latency data with the visual impairment, one with the duration and multiplicity (generalization) of the disease. Combination of different methods increases the discriminative power of the VEP investigation.

Among 56 established cases of multiple sclerosis in our clinic from April 1978 to March 1985, optic neuritis was found in 38; 21 cases were bilateral. We studied pattern-evoked potentials detected with 16 electrodes placed on both the scalp and the facial area. Patternevoked potentials (PERGs) were

Pattern reversal and flash evoked potentials were recorded in 13 children with dissociated vertical deviation. We found no evidence of anomalous responses to pattern reversal half-field stimulation and no asymmetries in flash responses as reported to occur in albinism. However, we found that patient

This study reports the pattern visual evoked potential (PVEP) findings in 10 patients with idiopathic hypothyroidism. Eight of these patients also had pattern electroretinography (PERG) performed and six were additionally seen after treatment with thyroxine. Only one patient had definitely abnormal
