To determine the relative ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials (pVEPs) to detect visual pathway involvement in pediatric-onset MS. Pediatric-onset MS participants (onset <18 years) and healthy controls (HCs) underwent OCT (Cirrus HD-OCT) and pVEPs. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer to inner plexiform layer (GCL-IPL), and P100 pVEP latency were measured. Generalized estimating equation models were used to compare the groups, adjusting for age and intereye correlations. Twenty-four pediatric MS participants, 14 with a history of remote (>6 months) optic neuritis (ON) in one eye (8 participants) or both the eyes (6 participants), and 24 HCs were enrolled. RNFL thinning (<83 μm, 2 SDs below HC eyes) occurred in 50% of ON eyes vs 5% of non-ON eyes. Prolonged VEP latency (>109 msec) occurred in 58% of ON eyes and 55% of non-ON eyes. A clinical history of ON predicted RNFL (p < 0.001) and GCL-IPL thinning (p = 0.011), whereas prolonged pVEP latency in children with MS occurred independent of ON history. OCT and pVEPs provide complementary but distinct insights. OCT is sensitive to retinal changes in the context of clinical ON, whereas pVEPs are useful to detect disseminated lesions of the visual pathway in children with MS.
