Method The sample included adults diagnosed with cryptococcal meningitis admitted at a reference hospital for infectious diseases. The patients were subjected to F-VEP tests shortly before lumbar puncture. The Pearson\u2019s linear correlation coefficient was calculated and the linear regression analysis was performed. Results : Eighteen individuals were subjected to a total of 69 lumbar punctures preceded by F-VEP tests. At the first lumbar puncture performed in each patient, N2 latency exhibited a strong positive correlation with intracranial pressure (r = 0.83; CI = 0.60 - 0.94; p &lt; 0.0001). The direction of this relationship was maintained in subsequent punctures. Conclusion : The intracranial pressure measured by spinal tap manometry showed strong positive association with the N2 latency F-VEP in patients with cryptococcal meningitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0004-282x20150002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,8]],"date-time":"2015-05-08T20:40:07Z","timestamp":1431117607000},"page":"309-313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Visual
