VEP projections in congenital nystagmus; VEP asymmetry in albinism: a comparison study.
Visual evoked potential (VEP) asymmetry in which a preponderance of nasal and temporal retina afferents project to the contralateral hemisphere after full-field monocular stimulation is considered specific to albinism. Some reports, however, suggest that patients with congenital nystagmus (CN) share the albino-like visual pathway anomaly. To examine the clinical specificity of albino misrouting...
متن کاملAlbinism in childhood: a flash VEP and ERG study.
Flash visual evoked potentials (F. VEPs) and electroretinograms (ERGs) were recorded in a total of 20 young children with albinism (age range 5 months to 11 years, mean 4 years). All recordings were made without sedation. There were 13 oculocutaneous cases (one with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome) and seven ocular albinos. Monocular flash stimulation commonly elicited an asymmetrical occipital VEP d...
متن کاملPeriodic alternating nystagmus in humans with albinism.
PURPOSE To quantify the spatial and temporal nature of congenital periodic alternating nystagmus (PAN) and to test the hypothesis that PAN results from a temporal shift in the null zone. METHODS Twenty-five subjects with oculocutaneous albinism (16 tyrosinase negative and 9 tyrosinase positive) and 7 with ocular albinism (5 x-linked and 2 autosomal recessive) participated in the study. Using ...
متن کاملIdentifying human albinism: a comparison of VEP and fMRI.
PURPOSE To compare VEP and fMRI as a means of detecting the abnormal visual projections in albinism in different stimulation conditions. METHODS Cortical response to monocular full-field pattern-onset and hemifield pattern-onset and -reversal stimulation of 18 subjects with a known diagnosis of albinism, 17 control subjects, and 6 control subjects with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) was d...
متن کاملAlbinism, Partial Albinism, and Vitiligo
Albinism, partial albinism, and vitiligo are three clinically distinct conditions having in common a deficiency of melanin pigment. As such they present the physician with the same basic problems-cosmetically disfiguring lesions and extreme sensitivity to sunlight of the involved areas. None of the diseases is itself an immediate threat to life, but the social disabilities, especially among dar...
