Description Pattern VEP has been demonstrated in adults (>16 years of age) to have severely delayed latencies demonstrating a significant correlation between the affects of intracranial pressure and subsequent health of the visual system. Most studies involve adult populations, with pediatric populations uninvestigated. We hypothesize that VEP, similar to adult populations, can be used to predict dysfunction of the visual pathway from elevated ICP.
