Pattern Visual Evoked Potentials in Traumatic Optic Neuropathy

Abstract: To evaluate the characteristics of pattern visual evoked potentials (PVEPs) in traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) compared with optic neuritis (ON), we retrospectively studied 47 patients with TON and 64 patients with unilateral ON. PVEPs elicited by the stimulation with 3 reversals/s were recorded in all patients. A PVEP could be recorded in 29.8% of the TON patients and 49.6% of the ON patients at their first visit. In the 14 patients with TON and recordable PVEPs, the mean amplitude ratio (affected/fellow eye… Show more

“…The value of VEP lies in its ability to identify early problems in the anterior visual pathway, although it is non-specific as to the underlying aetiology and pathology. It is an objective and reproducible test of optic nerve function, and in craniofacial trauma VEPs have been reported as a useful adjunct in early detection of visual loss 30,50 . This complements imaging by determining the functional significance of any structural abnormalities found alongside the optic nerve 18 , and up to 90% of patients with positive VEPs have been reported to make a complete or partial visual recovery 70 .…”
