Wolfram syndrome: a clinical study of two cases.

Two unrelated patients with two different images of Wolfram (or 'DIDMOAD') syndrome are presented: a 19-year old woman suffering from all the important features of this syndrome, and a 38-year old man showing two major characteristics but several minor abnormalities. This syndrome should be considered in young diabetic patients with unexplained visual loss or with polyuria and polydipsia in the presence of adequate blood sugar control. An early diagnosis is important to prevent unnecessary diagnostic investigations.

VISTECH contrast sensitivity and pattern-VEP in multiple sclerosis patients.

In 12 known multiple sclerosis patients with a visual acuity of 7/10 or better in both eyes, optic nerve function was tested by means of contrast sensitivity measurement (VISTECH technique) and pattern-VEP. The results were compared with those of an age related control group. The VISTECH contrast sensitivity measurement is a useful tool in evaluating the remaining visual discomfort after the resolution of an optic neuritis. However, to detect a subclinical optic neuritis, the pattern-VEP is more sensitive.
