Lecture 4 - ERG and EOGs Flashcards
(11 cards)
In the ERG the c-wave represents?
RPE: pigment epithelium
In the ERG the a-wave represents what?
photoreceptors: rods and cones
In the ERG the b-wave represents what?
ON bi-polar cells and Muller cells
In the ERG the d-wave represents what?
OFF bi-polar cells
In the ERG what does the OPs (oscillatory potentials between A and B) represent?
amacrine cells
What can be diagnosed by EOG?
Best’s Disease
ERG finding:
- Scotopic ERG almost completely gone
- Photopic ERG relatively unchanged
Complete CSNB; complete congenital stationary night blindness. Happens in children.
ERG Finding:
- normal scotopic
- no flicker or photopic ERG
Rod Monochromatism
ERG Finding:
- normal scotopic
- cone responses smaller and slower
Cone Dystrophy
ERG finding:
- loss peripheral retina
- rods of ERG reduced; scotopic reduced
- A and B from photopic also reduced
- Flicker and photopic wave form will be reduced
Retinitis Pigmentosa
