چکیده
The difficuities in assessing the Central Nervous System (CNS) in the course of Systemic Nervous System (SLE) are weli known. A battery of Neurophysioiogicai tests, inciuding EEG and Multimodal Evoked Potenciais was used in order to evaluate CNS disfuntion. Two SLE populations were studied (one with previous neurological symptoms (N = 10) and another without any of the these symptoms (N = 10) and compared with normal controis (N = 14). Tests included Routine EEG, Visual Evoked Potenciais (VEP), Flash Evoked Responses (FEP), Audi tory P300 (P300) and a Reitan B Test. Both SLE populations showed rather high incidences of abnormalities in FEP and VEP; EEG and P300 had smalier percentages ofabnormal records. In spite of stronger and more frequent abnormaiities in patient with major symptoms in their past the two SLE couid not be differentiated in terms of incidence of abnormal Evoked Potenciais Records. Visual Evoked Potenciais seem a promising method for the assessment of CNS system disfunction SLE patients.
