title: [The multi-channel VEPs topography in optic neuritis].
abstract: The multi-channel VEPs topographies of 20 normal persons and 22 patients suffered from optic neuritis were recorded. In normal subjects, the topography showed symmetric distribution by full-field stimulation and paradoxical lateralization by half-field stimulation. In patients with optic neuritis, it showed asymmetric distribution most on the temperal side, some on the nasal side and occasionally in the middle by full-field stimulation. The result suggests that the optic nerve may be damaged on either temperal or nasal. The effect of the early diagnosis and evaluating treatment using topography is also discussed.
