[Pattern electroretinography and pattern visual evoked potentials in maculopathy: a comparison with sensory tests]. 1989

F Niermann, and R Lorenz, and W Heider

The retinal and cortical potentials for pattern reversal were recorded in 58 eyes of 30 patients afflicted with macular disease. The highest incidence of abnormality (79%) was found for the amplitudes P-ERG and P-VECP. Total field EOG and L-ERG were affected less frequently (41% and 25%). The P-ERG amplitude correlated significantly with the sensitivity of the central 10 degrees visual field (static perimetry). The P-VECP threshold check size showed a close correlation with visual acuity. Thus, the recording of pattern-evoked retinal and cortical potentials serves as a supplementary means of assessing types of maculopathy.

D008268 Macular Degeneration Degenerative changes in the RETINA usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the MACULA LUTEA) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.

D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D003118 Color Perception Mental processing of chromatic signals (COLOR VISION) from the eye by the VISUAL CORTEX where they are converted into symbolic representations. Color perception involves numerous neurons, and is influenced not only by the distribution of wavelengths from the viewed object, but also by its background color and brightness contrast at its boundary.
