Study of Pattern Reversal Visual Evoked Potentials in Newly Diagnosed IDDM Patients in North India
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: The present study was carried out to assess visual evoked potentials abnormalities in visual function exist in newly-diagnosed IDDM patients. Method: Pattern reversal visual evoked potentials were recorded on evoked potentials recorder in 18 newlydiagnosed IDDM patients (age: 21.3 ± 3.2 years; duration of disease: 6 ± 2.6 months), and in 18 age matched control subjects. Results: In comparison with control subjects, newly diagnosed IDDM patients showed: VEP P100 latencies significantly delayed (P<0.05) but amplitudes were not changed significantly. Conclusions: VEP measurement seems non-invasive and highly sensitive method for detecting early involvement and changes in optic pathways in diabetics.
