Visual evoked potentials by central foveal and checkerboard reversal stimulation in multiple sclerosis. 1982

G Oepen, and C Brauner, and M Doerr, and U Thoden

In 200 patients with suspected MS, the diagnostic value of VEP elicited by checkerboard reversal and central foveal stimulation was compared. No significant difference was evident, but both methods overlap. The more stable checkerboard reversal stimulation should be preferred as a diagnostic method. Only in suspected MS with normal checkerboard responses, additional foveal responses may give supplementary information. Normal VEPs cannot exclude a prior retrobulbar neuritis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
