title: The electrophysiological examination in acute optic neuritis and during their recovery.
abstract: A survey of the electrophysiological methods will be given. We use this method to diagnose an optic neuritis and to evaluate it during its acute stage as well as during its recuperation. The importance of the contrast as stimulation parameter of the pattern VEP will be described, and its clinical relevance will be illustrated by a few clinical cases.
