Hello!
-24 year old female
So so far on my diagnostic journey I have:
-left sided hypereflexia, babinskis, clonus
-papilledema in right eye
-normal B12, negative Lyme, positive ANA (but negative antiDNA)
brain and c&t spine MRIs came back clear by radiologist (but there were things such as mild cervical spondylosis, multiple hemangiomas near T4, mild disc bulge here and there- that I assume could be causing my symptoms)
so, I assumed MS was off the table, because of the clean MRIs and spinal issues that could be causing things. However, yesterday I got a call from my neurologists nurse saying that my VEP came back mildly abnormal in my left eye and he would discuss it further with me at my follow up on the 14th. When I asked if he'd like me to do any other tests, she said no, he has everything he needs.
How important is this VEP test? What things could cause a mildly abnormal result in one eye? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
