Visual and somatosensory evoked cortical potentials in multiple sclerosis.
The diagnostic value of the pattern reversal evoked cortical potential (VEP) and the somatosensory evoked cortical potential (SEP) has been compared in 50 patients with established or suspected multiple sclerosis. A prolonged latency of VEP was found in 96% of definite cases of multiple sclerosis, 58% of probable cases, and 20% of possible cases. A prolonged latency of SEP by stimulation of med...
متن کاملVisual evoked cortical potentials and pattern electroretinograms in Parkinson's disease and control subjects.
Parkinson's disease patients have been shown to have abnormal visually evoked cortical potentials (VEPs) to pattern stimulation. Whereas dopamine is not an important neurotransmitter in the central visual pathways, the retina is rich in dopamine and, together with previous animal and human studies, this suggests that the abnormal VEPs in Parkinson's disease patients may be due to a biochemical ...
متن کاملPattern-onset visual evoked potentials in suspected multiple sclerosis.
Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were obtained by monocular stimulation using a checkerboard pattern-reversal and pattern-onset technique. In 11 normal subjects, pattern-onset VEPs were generally larger, better defined, and less ambiguous than those elicited by pattern-reversal, because of the biphasic waveform characteristically obtained with pattern-onset stimulation. In 68 of 105 patients wit...
متن کاملThe Effect of Oral Verapamil on the Visual Evoked Potentials in Definite Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Introduction: Ionic channel rearrangements through the demyelinated axons or supporting media play significant role in remission of the neurological deficit in MS patients. In this study the effects of Verapamil as a calcium channel blocker on central conduction have been investigated through the evaluation of changes in P100 latency of the visual evoked potential. Method: This randomized doubl...
متن کاملValue of hyperventilation in pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials.
The effects of a standard 3 minutes' hyperventilation on the full-field pattern-reversal visual evoked potential (VEP) were studied in 33 normal subjects, 30 definite multiple sclerosis patients and in twenty-five patients with abnormal VEPs due to either tumourous compression of the anterior visual pathways or optic atrophy of other origin. Significantly greater reductions in P100 latency occu...
