TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Pattern-visual evoked potentials in thinner abusers JO - Archives of medical research A1 - Poblano, A. A1 - Lope Huerta, M. A1 - Martinez, J. M. A1 - Falcón, H. D. SP - 531 EP - 533 VL - 27 IS - 4 N2 - Organic solvents cause injury to lipids of neuronal and glial membranes. A well known characteristic of workers exposed to thinner is optic neuropathy. We decided to look for neurophysiologic signs of visual damage in patients identified as thinner abusers. Pattern reversal visual evoked potentials was performed on 34 thinner abuser patients and 30 controls. P-100 wave latency was found to be longer on abuser than control subjects. Results show the possibility of central alterations on thinner abusers despite absence of clinical symptoms.
