title: Steady-state and transient visual evoked potentials in clinical practice.
abstract: The electrophysiological analysis of visual evoked responses is a powerful tool for the study of visual function. The combined application of pattern-reversal transient visual evoked potentials, critical frequency of photic driving, and visual evoked spectrum array has enhanced the reliability and the yield of these tests for the diagnosis of visual dysfunctions. Prechiasmatic and retrochiasmatic lesions are characterized by different abnormalities. Prechiasmatic lesions often can be further differentiated into retinal and optic nerve lesions by the simultaneous recording of retinal and cortical potentials.
