| Popis: | Visual evoked cortical magnetic field (VEF) waveforms were recorded from both hemifields in 21 patients with temporo-parieto-occipital mass lesions to identify preserved visual pathways. Fifteen patients had visual symptoms pre-operatively. Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) VEF responses were detected, using single equivalent current dipole (ECD), in 17/21 patients studied. Displaced or abnormal responses were seen in 15 patients with disruption of pathway in one patient. Three of 21 patients had alterations in the surgical approach or the planned resection based on the MEG findings. The surgical outcome for these three patients suggests that the MEG study may have played a useful role in pre-surgical planning. |
