Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) have a role in evaluating patients with neurologic disease affecting the optic pathway. In patients with lesions involving the optic nerve and anterior chiasm, VEPs have several important advantages: (1) they are objective and reproducible and may demonstrate a functional abnormality that is not evident on physical examination or with neuroimaging studies; (2) abnormalities may persist over time even when there is clinical resolution of visual symptoms; (3) they may be a more reliable indicator of disease than MRI, (4) they may be more sensitive than MRI for detecting abnormalities in optic nerves; and (5) they are less expensive than MRI studies and can be used in situations where MRI studies are contraindicated (i.e., pacemakers, aneurysm clips, etc). This chapter discusses the technical aspects, limitations, and roles of VEPs in the evaluation of neurologic symptoms.
