  • Title: [Electrophysiology in optic neuropathy].
    Author: Plech AR.
    Journal: Wiad Lek; 2004; 57(5-6):271-4. PubMed ID: 15518075.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this work is to present current state of knowledge on the subject of electrophysiological diagnostic methods in optic neuropathy. To evaluate optic nerve function we can use pattern and flash visual evoked cortical potentials (VEPs) and pattern electroretinography (ERG). Each method is specific and sensitive in other cases of impairment of the optic nerve (neuritis, toxic, hereditary, entrapment and ischemic neuropathy). Extensive electrophysiological examination including modern techniques can help in the precise diagnosis, the proper treatment and controlling of the effect of therapy.
