Cortical Evoked Potentials in Children of Diabetic Mothers

چکیده
Type 1 diabetic mothers' infants show a delay of visual evoked potential (VEP) significantly related to some parameters of poor metabolic control during pregnancy. In the present paper we analyzed the characteristics of VEPs and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) recorded in 16 three-year-old type 1 diabetic mothers' children (DMC). Compared with controls (23 nondiabetic mothers' healthy matched children), DMC showed significantly delayed mean latency of VEP (P2) and SEP (P22). In 3 cases (19%), we found pathological responses (+3 SD from the mean value of controls) of VEPs and SEPs. At the age of 3 years, the offspring of type 1 diabetic mothers showed delay of cortical evoked responses in both visual and somatosensory systems.

Visual evoked potential can be used to detect a prediabetic form of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes mellitus type I.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of visual evoked potential (VEP) testing in detecting retinal ganglion cell damage in patients with Diabetes Mellitus type I (DMI). VEP arise before diabetic retinopathy signs become ophthalmoscopically detectable. VEP testing was performed in 45 patients divided into three groups; 15 children with recently discovered DMI, 15 children with lo...
متن کاملCortical auditory evoked potentials in children with developmental dysphasia.
Like all auditory evoked potentials, the cortical auditory evoked potentials are nonspecific for the disease, but they provide information about the auditory system function. It appears that the cortical auditory potentials can be used to study the disorders of speech comprehension and their pathology is related to the role of the temporal processing of the auditory stimuli. Cortical auditory p...
متن کاملAuditory pathways' maturation after cochlear implant via cortical auditory evoked potentials.
INTRODUCTION Evaluation of cortical auditory evoked potentials in children with cochlear implants has been proven to be an effective method for assessing cortical maturation after electrical stimulation. OBJECTIVE To analyze the changes in latency values of cortical auditory evoked potentials before and three months after cochlear implant use. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a case-control st...
متن کاملThe representation of voice onset time in the cortical auditory evoked potentials of young children.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether, in young children, a cortical neurophysiologic representation of the voicing status of a stop consonant could be found in the absence of the N1 component in the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP). In adults, a 'double-on' N1 response is often considered a cortical marker of VOT representation. METHODS Scalp-recorded CAEPs were m...
متن کاملEffects of early maternal docosahexaenoic acid intake on neuropsychological status and visual acuity at five years of age of breast-fed term infants.
OBJECTIVE We previously reported better psychomotor development at 30 months of age in infants whose mothers received a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (22:6n-3) supplement for the first 4 months of lactation. We now assess neuropsychological and visual function of the same children at 5 years of age. STUDY DESIGN Breastfeeding women were assigned to receive identical capsules containing either a ...
