To establish normative database andinvestigate whether VEP amplitude and latency have any correlation between them. Institution based cross-sectional observational study done in Electrophysiology of Vision Laboratory at a tertiary centre in Eastern India. 126 subjects of age group between 20 and 59 years of either sex with best corrected visual acuity 6/6 in both eyes and no other eye ailments (except error of refraction) on examination with informed consent were included. PVEP with pattern reversal stimulus with check element size 1° (60') was recorded with Retimax “Advanced” machine (manufactured by CSO s.r.l., (Firenze) Italy) and standard silver-silver chloride disc electrodes. The test parameters were customized in the machine by the manufacturer and designated to measure the N75-P100 amplitude and P100 latency.Normative values were established for our laboratory. Only the most reliable parameters for clinically significant alterations of visual pathway i.e. N75-P100 amplitude and P100 latency were included in the analysis. Results of uniocular, age group-wise and gender-wise values were obtained by descriptive statistics as per ISCEV guidelines. No linear co-relationship (ascertained by Spearman's rho Correlation Coefficient) was found between N75-P100 amplitude and P100 latency, in either of the eyes. PVEP amplitude and latency are uncorrelated variables. To the best of our knowledge, our study was the first study in literature on correlation between amplitude and latency of PVEP.
Schwannomas involving the epibulbar conjunctiva are extremely rare and have been scantily reported in literature. In our case, a 35-year-old healthy man presented with a pinkish, highly vascular, and globular mass involving the conjunctiva in the nasal quadrant of the right eye. The mass was completely excised, and histopathology of said mass revealed an encapsulated tumor, with its cells displaying elongated nuclei and few Verocay bodies with palisaded nuclei, all of which were suggestive of schwannoma. This case thus highlights schwannoma as a differential diagnosis of conjunctival masses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
