Visual Evoked Responses (VERS) in Assessment of Optic Nerve Injury in Head Injury Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
As we are getting more industrialised and travelling is becoming more frequent, incidence of fatal road side accident resulting in head injury is also increasing. It is difficult to assess the visual status/ state of optic nerve of patients with head injury. In light of this we conducted the study on 75 patients with head injury with suspected optic nerve injury to evaluate the role of VERs in assessment of optic nerve injury. Complete ocular examination was done. VERs was recorded in every patient. Patients were re evaluated after 7-10 days and repeat VERs were recorded. It was concluded that VERs did help in establishing in diagnosis of optic nerve injury and predicting the visual outcome.
