Early Clinical and Subclinical Visual Evoked Potential and Humphrey's Visual Field Defects in Cryptococcal Meningitis
Cryptococcal induced visual loss is a devastating complication in survivors of cryptococcal meningitis (CM). Early detection is paramount in prevention and treatment. Subclinical optic nerve dysfunction in CM has not hitherto been investigated by electrophysiological means. We undertook a prospective study on 90 HIV sero-positive patients with culture confirmed CM. Seventy-four patients underwe...
متن کاملAbnormalitites of Visual Evoked Potential in Migraine Patients
Background: Visual evoked potential (VEP) is regarded as a useful, reliable and non-invasive technique for the diagnosis of lesions in the optic pathway. This technique was used to investigate visual function in migraine. Materials and Methods: 53 migraine patients (27 migraine cases with aura and 26 common migraine cases) and 55 controls were prospectively enrolled in this study. Visual ev...

متن کاملMultifocal visual evoked potential in nonorganic visual field loss.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of multifocal visual evoked potentials in the diagnosis of nonorganic visual field loss. METHODS Five patients with unexplained visual field loss underwent full neuro-ophthalmic examination, Humphrey visual field testing, and multifocal visual evoked potential testing using the Accumap objective perimeter (ObjectiVision Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia). RESULTS In a...
متن کاملEffect of simulated octant visual field defects on the visual evoked potential (VEP).
everal previous clinical research studies1--6 have found he pattern visual-evoked potential (VEP) to be useful in etecting a wide range of visual-field defects objectively. n a previous study completed in our laboratory,6 circuar, annular, hemi-field, and quadrant absolute visual-field efects were simulated and assessed objectively for detecion and discrimination using the pattern VEP method. h...
