TI  - Visual evoked potentials in term light-for-gestational-age infants and infants of 
      diabetic mothers.
PG  - 85-91
AB  - The latency and amplitude of the first negative peak of visual evoked potentials 
      (VEP) were evaluated in 52 term infants, investigated within 48 h after birth. 
      Sixteen were light-for-gestational-age (LGA), 16 were 
      appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) and 20 were infants of diabetic mothers 
      (IDM). The VEP latency was shorter in LGA infants compared to AGA infants, and it 
      was closely related to the birth weight deviation. The VEP latency was inversely 
      related to gestational age and positively related to head circumference. When 
      corrected for gestational age and head circumference, the VEP latency was not 
      significantly different between the subgroups, nor related to the birth weight 
      deviation, ponderal index or skinfold thickness. Thus, it could be argued that 
      the high conduction velocity in LGA infants is due to stress maturation or 
      alternatively due to the smaller head circumference. The VEP amplitude was higher 
      in LGA infants when compared with AGA infants, and inversely related to the birth 
      weight deviation. No differences were found in VEP latency or VEP amplitude 
      between IDM and AGA infants.
