Optical coherence tomography is beneficial for measuring visual changes and the impact of comorbidities in MS, NMOSD, and ...

07.05.2013: Review article - Evoked potential studies may often be an important supplement to information from EEGs, imaging methods and other laboratory tests.

Visual evoked potentials (VEP) are electrophysiological signals used to assess visual pathway function, with applications in diagnosing optic nerve disorders. This study compared the diagnostic ...

Historically, optic nerve involvement has been excluded from MS diagnostic criteria, but its inclusion in the new iteration is expected to significantly accelerate time to diagnosis.

An effective and clinically relevant parameter for differentiating ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) and optic neuritis (ON) patients using the visual evoked potentials (VEPs) has been identified. In ...

Many studies proposed an ultrasonographic role in the evaluation of optic neuritis. 4 7 13–18 Lacking of a gold standard technique for definite diagnosis of optic neuropathy opened the field for new ...

A VEP test can provide evidence of damage or disruption of optic nerve function. MS causes demyelination, but so do other conditions such as optic neuritis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.

In general, slowing neuronal transmission such as produced by myelin plaques, common in multiple sclerosis or gliomas on optic nerves in neurofibromatosis, slow the speed of the VEP wave peaks.

VEP and IEA RNFL detected optic nerve lesions at higher rates (19.1% for both tests) among patients with non-optic neuritis CIS.
