MS question

What can be told from a Nerve Conduction Study which reveals chiasm inflamation and prolonged p100s dysfunction?

HI and welcome,

Whilst it is true that no question is out of bounds on our MS forum, sometimes the 'specific' test interpretations, are understandably beyond our personal or educational experiences. From my perspective I do not know enough about visual test results to be confident in commenting but I would like to point out that visual abnormalities that are 'bilateral', are generally considered a red flag for MS. Why that is has something to do with other conditions more commonly having bilateral, where as in MS it is more common to be unilateral.

Cheers..........JJ

Hi,

I have asked a neurologist and eye doctor about the results.  It was explained that the test reveal demyelinating disease at the chiasm and eye nerves.  The p100 factor must be elongated in time between a stimulate and reaction time. I have bilaterally p100 elongation dysfunction test results.  Thus, demyelinating lesions on the optic chiasm and eye nerves.

I reviewed questions listed from this site and have concluded that questions are asked with not bounds.  And, someone steps up and explains their experience with that issue.  Some even say, like you, their not a doctor but >>>

a  NCS has nothing to do with MS, it indicates neuropathy and things like carpal tunnel.  We are only patients here, MS patients, and cannot diagnose or interpret these kinds of tests.  We just share information that each of us has learned.  Have you asked your neuro who did this test?
