PURPOSE: To explore the abnormal crossing of the retinogeniculate pathways in human albinos with visual-evoked potentials (VEPs).
METHODS: The authors studied the symmetry of the topographic distribution of pattern onset/offset VEPs over the posterior part of the scalp elicited by monocular stimulation of each eye in 31 consecutive patients with different types of albinism.
RESULTS: Twenty-one patients had asymmetric responses, with the major amplitude recorded over the lateral part of the scalp contralaterally to the stimulated eye in 14 patients and ipsilaterally in 7 patients. In two patients, the responses had a symmetric topographic distribution. In eight patients, the amplitude was so low that studying the symmetry was not possible.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate a non-uniform pattern of asymmetry as a result of the miswiring of the visual pathways in human albinism. Moreover, the low amplitude of the VEP recorded in a consecutive series of patients shows the difficulty of the study of this phenomenon in a clinical setting.
