Department of Ophthalmology, University of Brussels (V.U.B.), Belgium.

A survey of the electrophysiological methods will be given. We use this method to diagnose an optic neuritis and to evaluate it during its acute stage as well as during its recuperation. The importance of the contrast as stimulation parameter of the pattern VEP will be described, and its clinical relevance will be illustrated by a few clinical cases.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009902	Optic Neuritis	Inflammation of the optic nerve. Commonly associated conditions include autoimmune disorders such as MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, infections, and granulomatous diseases. Clinical features include retro-orbital pain that is aggravated by eye movement, loss of color vision, and contrast sensitivity that may progress to severe visual loss, an afferent pupillary defect (Marcus-Gunn pupil), and in some instances optic disc hyperemia and swelling. Inflammation may occur in the portion of the nerve within the globe (neuropapillitis or anterior optic neuritis) or the portion behind the globe (retrobulbar neuritis or posterior optic neuritis).
