Lateralisation of the flash visually evoked cortical potential in albino babies.
Flash VECPs have been reported in 3 albino babies ranging in age from 1 to 7 months. The responses were dominated by a large positive component preceded by an earlier negative. The amplitude of this positive component measured from the peak of the preceding negative wave had a greater amplitude over the contralateral hemisphere on monocular stimulation indicative of the misrouting present in the albino visual system.
