Central and peripheral steady-state visual evoked potentials in children with optic pathway gliomas
2019
Purpose
Treatment of optic pathway gliomas is prompted by neuroradiological evidence of tumor growth, usually associated with progressive visual loss. Despite therapy, approximately 40% will show visual deterioration. Treatment outcome is largely based on the preservation of vision. However, current visual function assessment is often unreliable in children with optic pathway gliomas who have limited collaboration. Thus, there is a need for new clinical tools to evaluate visual functions in these children. The aim of the study was to assess the value of steady-state visual evoked potentials as a tool to assess function in the central and peripheral visual fields of children with optic pathway gliomas.
