[Electrophysiological tests in the assessment of visual disorders].
نویسنده
چکیده
Some electrophysiological tests are helpful in the assessment of visual disorders. The physiological basis, technical aspects and general indications of those available at most neurophysiology services are reviewed. The Full-Field electroretinogram reflects photoreceptor and inner retinal function. The Pattern electroretinogram assesses retinal ganglion cell function and can identify macular dysfunction mimicking optic nerve disease. The electro-oculogram is a test of function of the outer retina and retinal pigment epithelium; it differentiates Best's disease from all other bestrophinopathies. Visual evoked potentials evaluate the visual pathway and are especially helpful in the evaluation of the optic nerve.

متن کاملAssessment and Comparison of the Effects Of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave and Low-Power Laser Therapies on Clinical and Electrophysiological Parameters in Moderate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Blinded Randomized Control Trial
Objectives: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common peripheral entrapment neuropathy with squeezing of the median nerve and the patient is unable to function properly. There are different physiotherapy interventions for the management of these patients and recently, shock wave therapy and low-power laser (LPL) have been widely used, but there is no strong evidence comparing the effect of shock...
متن کاملP11: Assess the Electrophysiological Activity of Olfactory Bulb in the Animal Model of PTSD and its Relationship with Neuroinflammation in the Olfactory Bulb
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event - either experiencing it or witnessing it. In addition to the relationship between PTSD and neuroinflammation, research indicates that olfactory bulb are effective in anxiety disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the electrophysiological activity of olfactory bulb in the animal mod...
متن کاملInteraction of sensory experience and age in spatial memory performances
During a critical period of postnatal age sensory experience has a profound effect on maturation of visual cortical wiring. Electrophysiological evidence is indicating a substantial effect of visual deprivation on the visual cortical response properties. In this study we evaluated effect of light deprivation during a limited time of postnatal age on two aspects of spatial (working and reference...
