Objective To describe the neurophysiological findings of visual evoked potentials in children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

Background Visual evoked potentials (VEP) are an objective study for the diagnosis of visual conduction defects in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in subclinical stages.

Design/Methods An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study was performed to assess the impact of T1DM on VEPs. The VEPs of 57 patients with T1DM were evaluated (57 right eye and 57 left eye). For the first part of the study: the bioelectric response, morphology, amplitude and latency of N75 and P100 waves were described. These values were also compared using the pattern reversal and goggle techniques.

Results In children with DM1, it was found that P100 latency was prolonged and with abnormal morphology either with goggle o reverse pattern technique. The differences in these parameters varied significantly from reference values (p<0.05) when the goggle technique was used.

Conclusions We found differences in the parameters studied in patients with T1DM. The goggle technique in this study was more sensitive at detecting abnormalities. Results show that VEP can be a useful for detection of visual pathway alterations in asyntomatic patients
