The electroretinogram in neurologic practice.
The ERG can be helpful to the neurologist who must evaluate patients with known or suspected retinal disease. The test is most useful in detecting (or excluding) outer retinal disease, especially in presymptomatic, very young, or mentally enfeebled patients. It can also help in interpreting the meaning of an abnormal VEP.
