Description

Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are electrophysiologic responses to either patterned or unpatterned visual stimuli. Stimulation at a relatively low rate (up to 4/s) will produce "transient" VEPs, while stimulation at higher rates (10/s or higher) will produce responses that merge into relatively simple oscillations occurring at the frequency of stimulation that persist for the duration of the stimulation and are referred to as "steady-state" VEPs. Responses evoked by patterned stimuli are "pattern" VEPs or PVEPs, and those evoked by unpatterned stimuli are "flash" VEPs or FVEPs. VEP examinations are helpful in the diagnosis of many disorders, including multiple sclerosis and albinism. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
