Clinical study of electrophysiological changes of optic nerves in early period of type 1 diabetes mellitus
Abstract
AIM:To investigate the value of pattern visual evoked potential(PVEP)and flash electroretinogram(FERG)in early diagnosis and prevention of diabetic retinopathy(DR), analyzing the correlation of early stage DR with PVEP and FERG.METHODS:Sixty patients, 30 males and 30 females, participated in observation group. Their average age was 19.42±7.78years. The duration of DM was RESULTS:In observation group, P100 amplitude decreased and P100 latency increased, compared to those of control group(PPCONCLUSION: PVEP are sensitive to optic neuron damage; FERG is desirable to detect the lesion of Müller cells and bipolar cells. P100 amplitude by PVEP, b-wave amplitude by FERG may be the most sensitive parameter for DR at early stage.
