[Visual evoked potentials in patients with trigeminal neuralgia].
Data characterizing visual evoked potentials in neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve are presented. In contrast to healthy individuals, patients with this kind of neuralgia displayed a well pronounced character of early and late components of evoked potentials not only in the occipital but also in the central regions. Other features characteristic of their potentials were a hypersynchronous post-discharge and the presence of peaks. All these findings suggest the resemblance between the central mechanisms of neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve and those of epilepsy.
