Somatosensory evoked potentials in the assessment of preserved function of long spinal cord pathways versus decisions of operation

Abstract

In the light of several presented clinical cases the authors point out the usefulness of somatosensory evoked potentials for the objective determination of the continuity of long pathways in the spinal cord, which in correlation with the clinical findings and results of imaging methods helps in making the decision of surgical intervention. The non-invasiveness of this method makes possible repeated safe control examinations for assessment of the dynamic of lesions in the cord and objective assessment of the neurological condition after operations on the cord.
