Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the visual evoked potential (VEP) findings among patients who underwent cosmetic rhinoplasty with those of normal individuals.
Patients and Methods: In this case-control study, 26 eyes of 13 patients were evaluated between 2021 and 2023. The control group consisted of 26 eyes from 13 age-, sex-, and visual acuity-matched healthy individuals. VEP was recorded for both the case and control groups. The latency (in milliseconds) and amplitude (in microvolts) of the VEP P100 peak were compared between the patients and controls.
Results: The mean latency of the VEP P100 peak was 99.61 ± 5.24 milliseconds in the patient group, compared to 98.23 ± 3.59 milliseconds in the control group (P = 0.425). Additionally, the mean amplitude of the VEP P100 peak in the patient group was 7 ± 2.05 microvolts, compared to 6.29 ± 1.97 microvolts in the control group (P = 0.893). The differences for both variables were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Based on the results, the visual pathway does not appear to be effected significantly among patients undergoing cosmetic rhinoplasty.
