title: [Significance of flicker VEP and pattern VEP in the diagnosis of optic nerve and pathway diseases].
abstract: Both flicker VEP and pattern VEP of 23 patients (34 eyes) were recorded for their objective evaluation as visual function tests in diseases of the optic nerve or optic pathway. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The flicker VEP is independent of poor visual acuity or opacities in the refractive media; however, the combined use of both methods is useful for accurate diagnosis of certain visual morbidities.
