Description Optic neuritis (ON) represents a good model to examine the process of myelin destruction and repair since the effects are clinically apparent and measurable. It is believed that amplitude of full-field visual evoked potential (VEP) reflects axonal degeneration while delayed conduction reflects demyelination of the optic nerve . The multifocal VEP (mVEP) provides a breakdown into locally derived VEP responses and can map both the amplitude and latency of multiple sites up to eccentricity of 24 degrees. The purpose of this study was to examine serial mVEP changes in patients with acute optic neuritis.
