In the study conducted by Tandon et al., P100 latency was prolonged in hypertensives and suggested that hypertensive milieu affects neuronal excitation/conduction in the visual pathway.[2] In the study conducted by Marsh et al., P100 latency of visual evoked response was delayed in pre-eclamptic women.[8] There was a delayed conduction in brainstem auditory evoked response in Grade III hypertension.[9] There was impairment in sensory conduction in human beings in hypertension.[10] P100 latency was prolonged in patients with
demyelinating disease like multiple sclerosis.[11] There is a significant change in VEP with normal fluctuation in carotid pressure and heart rate.[12] These findings were similar to the results of the present study.
As some authors have suggested, we believe that it would be adeguate to carry out a periodic assessment of the presence of signs and symptoms of a
demyelinating disease, both at a central and a peripheral level, in patients who receive this type of drugs (6).

Under suspicion of tumefactive multiple sclerosis and other

(9) examined 84 IBD patients with neurological manifestations in their review published in 2010 and reported neuromuscular diseases with inflammatory and axonal neuropathies, arterial or venous cerebrovascular diseases and
demyelinating diseases.
Demyelinating diseases can affect the swallowing mechanism because of involvement of the brainstem, various cranial nerves, several regions of the cerebral cortex, and cerebellum.
In addition, being able to generate large numbers of patient-specific oligodendrocytes will support both cell transplantation therapeutics for
demyelinating diseases and the identification of new classes of drugs to treat such disorders," said Lee Rubin of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute.
