PG - 230-5 AB - OBJECTIVES: To investigate the correlation of the cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on MRI, and latency and amplitude of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in elderly subjects. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Pattern VEP (PVEP) and flash VEP (FVEP) were recorded in 25 patients with WMH consisting of 12 patients with frontal dominant WMH (FMH) and 13 patients with occipital dominant WMH (OMH) and 25 patients with basal ganglionic hyperintensities (BGH). RESULTS: In WMHs, there were significantly larger P100 and P2 amplitudes than in BGHs and controls. Regarding the distribution of WMH, OMH showed significantly larger P100 amplitudes than FMH. In OMH in males, there was significantly prolonged P100 latency compared with females, and in females, there were significantly larger P100 and P2 amplitudes compared with males. CONCLUSION: Appropriate clinical values in VEP should take into consideration WMH in addition to gender and age-related changes.
