Visual evoked potentials in infants with hydrocephalus.
Visual evoked potentials to flash stimuli were recorded in 15 infants with hydrocephalus. All demonstrated increased latencies for the prominent positive component (P2) of the response, compared to the mean value for age-matched controls. In nine infants studied prior to and 1 week after shunt procedure, the P2 latency decreased.
