چکیده
AIMS To investigate the predictive value of the cone b-wave implicit time in the photopic compared with the scotopic 30 Hz flicker ERG for rubeosis in central retinal vein occlusion. METHODS 44 patients with a central retinal vein occlusion were examined with full field electroretinogram (ERG). RESULTS The average implicit time in the photopic 30 Hz flicker ERG in patients who developed rubeosis (n=15) was 38.3 ms. In the patients who did not develop rubeosis (n=29) it was 31.3. The difference is statistically significant (p=0.0000000004). CONCLUSION The photopic cone b-wave implicit time in the 30 Hz flicker ERG is a good predictor for rubeosis.

Investigating the frequency characteristics of the electroretinogram signal in patients with central retinal vein occlusion
Background: Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disorder after diabetic retinopathy. In this study, we tried to examine the potentials of time-frequency methods for differentiating the eyes with CRVO. Materials and methods: Twenty patients with unilateral CRVO were included in this study. Their contralateral normal eyes were considered as the control...
متن کاملAssociation of electroretinogram and morphological findings in central retinal vein occlusion with macular edema
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relations among electroretinogram (ERG) parameters (cone a-wave, cone b-wave, and 30 Hz flicker), retinal thickness, and retinal volume in 16 patients with central retinal vein occlusion and macular edema. The amplitude and implicit time of the ERG parameters were extracted from the ERG traces. Retinal thickness and volume were measured by optical...
متن کاملThe contribution of human cone photoreceptors to the photopic flicker electroretinogram.
We aimed to noninvasively estimate the relative contribution of the cone photoreceptors to the photopic flicker electroretinogram (ERG) in humans. Responses to ganzfeld square-wave flicker (15, 30, and 60 Hz) were recorded in the presence of a rod-saturating background. We used a modified paired flash technique in which a bright probe flash was presented at different times during a flicker cycl...

Aims: To determine the interocular amplitude response difference of the electroretinogram (ERG) in normal subjects. Methods: 79 subjects, without retinal changes of clinical significance, underwent ERG testing. They included 63 men and 16 women, with a mean age of 44 (SD 12) years and range of 18–65 years. Isolated rod, scotopic maximal, dark adapted 30 Hz flicker, photopic single flash, and li...
