Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the indications of flash visual evoked potential (VEP) examination and to state the correlation of the test results with clinical findings. Material and Method: All the pediatric age group patients who underwent flash VEP testing between 2008 and 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. We enrolled 244 eyes of 122 patients who were between 6 months and 13 years old. Flash VEP test was applied to the patients who had weak or no steady fixation and following (SFF), or to patients with optic disc abnormality with normal SFF, patients with abnormal visual acuity decrease, and to uncooperative patients due to cerebral palsy or motor mental retardation. Consistency between the clinical findings and flash VEP outcomes were evaluated. Results: Sixty eight of the patients (55,73%) were boys and 54 (44,26%) were girls. The mean age was 21.56±27.26 (5-156) months. There was weak or no SFF in 36,06% of the patients. Nystagmus was present in 63.93% of the patientsand strabismus in 45,9% of them. 13.93% of them were born prematurely and 27.86% had either epilepsy or motor mental retardation.Optic disc was pale in 67.21% of the patients. The VEP outcomes were abnormal (P100 wave latency prolongation, decrease or morphologic abnormality in the amplitude) in 76.2% of the patients. Discussion: When applied with appropriate indications, visual evoked potential examination can give well correlated results with clinical visual acuity tests and the results may be used in both diagnostics and as a follow up tool. Besides it is a safe and alternative method for evaluating the conductive integrity and maturity of the retinocortical pathway.

Özet

Amaç: Flaş görsel uyarılmış potansiyel (GUP) testi uygulanan olgularda, endikasyonlarımızı ve elde edilen sonuçların klinik bulgularlakorelasyonunu değerlendirmek.Gereç ve Yöntem: 2008-2013 yılları arasında kliniğimize başvuran pediyatrik yaş grubunda flaş GUP testi istediğimiz olgular dosya kayıtlarından retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Altı ay ile 13 yaş arasındaki 122 olgunun 244 gözü dahil edildi. Çalışmamızda ışık-obje takibiolmayan veya zayıf olan ya da takibi olup muayenede optik diskte anormallik saptadığımız, açıklayamadığımız görme azlığı olan, serebral palsi ve mental motor retardasyon gibi sebeplerle kooperasyon kurulamayan olgulara flaş GUP testi uygulandı. Flaş GUP sonuçları değerlendirilerek elde edilen sonuçların klinik bulgularla uyumluluğu değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Olguların 68'i erkek (% 55,73), 54'ü kız (%44,26 ) idi. Olguların başvuru anındaki ortalama yaşları 21,56 ay±27,26 (5 ay 156ay) idi. Olguların %36,06'sında ışık obje takibi zayıf olarak mevcuttu ya da yoktu. Olguların %63,93' ünde nistagmus, %45,9'unda şaşılık eşlik etmekteydi. Prematür doğum öyküsü olguların %13,93'ünde, epilepsi veya mental motor gerilik %27,86' sında bulunmaktaydı. Optik disk%67,21 olguda soluk olarak değerlendirilmişti.Olguların %76,2' de GUP verileri bozuk (latansta uzama, amplitüd düşüklüğü veya morfolojide bozulma) olarak gelmişti.Sonuç: Görsel uyarılmış potansiyel incelemesi uygun endikasyonlarda istendiğinde, klinikte kullanılan görme testlerine paralel sonuçlarverebilmekte ve elde edilen sonuçlar hem tanı hem de takip amaçlı kullanılabilmektedir. Ayrıca retinokortikal yolun iletim bütünlüğü ve olgunlaşma düzeyinin değerlendirilmesinde güvenilir ve alternatif bir yöntem olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır
