Abstract

Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, degenerative disease of the central nervous system. Visual evoked potential (VEP) tests are performed to assess conduction along the visual pathways. Involvement of visual pathways without visual complaints may be shown in VEP studies. In this study, VEP findings are investigated in MS patients without history of optic neuritis episodes. Methods: The study was performed in Izmir Tepecik Educational and Research Hospital, Department of Neurology. VEP results are observed in 50 patients. Results: In 26 of 50 patients, P100 latencies were above the normal limits in bilateral VEP tests. Conclusion: In our study, we showed that asymptomatic attacks of optic neuritis are frequently seen in MS patients. Our results are concordant with previous findings. We also observed that VEP is a sensitive, and easişy applicable diagnostic tool in the assesment of asymptomatic optic neuritis attacks in patients with MS.

Özet

Amaç: Multipl skleroz (MS), genellikle genç erişkinleri etkileyen santral sinir sisteminin demiyelinizasyon ve aksonal dejenerasyonla giden inflamatuvar kronik bir hastalığıdır. Görsel uyarılmış potansiyel (VEP) çalışmaları, MS hastalarında optik sinir hasarını gösteren, duyarlı ve maliyeti düşük bir tanısal test yöntemidir. VEP ile klinik olarak optik nörit atağı öyküsü olmayan MS hastalarında da ön görsel yol tutulumuna ait bulgular görülebilir. Bu çalışmada, optik nörit atağı geçirmemiş MS hastalarında VEP bulguları araştırılmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya İzmir Tepecik Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Nöroloji Kliniğinde takip edilen, daha önce optik nörit atağı geçirmemiş 50 MS hastası alınmıştır. Hastaların VEP bulguları incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Hastaların 26’sında her iki tarafta VEP tetkikinde uzamış P100 latansı olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Çalışmamız, geçmiş çalışmalarla uyumlu olarak, MS hastalarında sık olarak asemptomatik optik nörit atakları görüldüğünü doğrulamıştır. MS hastalarında asemptomatik optik nörit ataklarının saptanmasında VEP’in duyarlı ve uygulanması kolay bir yöntem olduğu düşünülmüştür.
