[Evaluation of time parameters of visual perception in the diagnosis of retrobulbar neuritis]

The suggested complex of the perimetric and electrophysiologic methods for the assessment of the function of the visual analyzer has helped detect diffuse involvement of the ocular system in clinically unilateral retrobulbar neuritis and define the incidence rate of involvement of the contralateral normal optic nerve. Prolongation of the latency of visual perception appears to be characteristic of retrobulbar neuritis and indicates the demyelinization of the nerve visual fibers.
