Electrodiagnostics of the tilted disc syndrome.

In five patients with a tilted disc syndrome the visually evoke potentials were examined by means of pattern stimulation. It was hoped that by such an examination this syndrome could be distinguished from a chiasma syndrome, since it is known that compression of the anterior visual pathways causes delayed responses, whereas defects or atrophies generally do not. In 4 patients, however, delayed responses were found and they were not found in only one patient.
