Abstract

The electrosensitive examination consists of the determination of sensory nerve conduction velocity and the somatosensory cortical evoked potentials above the contralateral postcentralarea after segmental skin stimu-contralateral postcentral area after segmental skin stimulation. This method records the total sensory system. The results received from normal persons and patients demonstrate that this riskless method is suitable for localization of peripheral neurogenic cerebral and especially localized spinal diseases. With the aid of cauda equina neurography additionally a new possibility is indicated to encircle the area of damage in the cases of lumbosacral root affections.
