Abstract
|
|
|
|
Evoked potentials (EPs) are the electric response of the nervous system to motor or sensory stimulation. Historically, the main use of EPs in detection of clinically silent lesions in suspected multiple sclerosis, spinal cord dysfunction, and optic nerve lesions. Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are used extensively for assessing the anterior and posterior visual pathways. But, VEPs are most useful for testing optic nerve function and less useful for assessing postchiasmatic disorders. The main indications for performing VEPs are suspected optic neuritis and MS.
