Abstract:

A twelve-year-old girl suffering from tuberous sclerosis complex was referred to Basir Eye Clinic, Tehran, Iran, for electrophysiological eye examinations, including visual evoked potential (VEP) and electroretinography (ERG). The patient’s medical history showed that she experienced seizures at the age of ten, for which treatment with vigabatrin was initiated. Her field of vision was abnormal, potentially due to the side effects of vigabatrin. The ERG results were also abnormal.
