Brain stem auditory and visual evoked potentials in multiple sclerosis.
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica 1980 July
The diagnostic value of the checkerboard pattern-reversal visual evoked potential (VEP) and the random, low rate stimulated brain stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) was compared in 99 patients with established or suspected multiple sclerosis (MS). In normal subjects examined by both techniques no abnormal recordings were found. In 49 patients with definite MS an incidence of abnormality was found in 100% of VEP and in 84% of BAEP recordings. In 50 patients with probable or possible MS an abnormal VEP was found in 70% and an abnormal BAEP in 50%. When the two examinations were combined, the diagnostic yield increased to 100 and 80%, respectively. 22 patients had only spinal symptoms; in these the VEP gave 73%, the BAEP 55% and the combination 82% abnormalities. The combination of the two techniques was found useful for demonstrating demyelinating lesions in the central nervous system, the diagnostic value being greatest when these lesions were clinically silent.
