Somatosensory conduction times and peripheral, cervical and cortical evoked potentials in patients with cervical spondylosis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Peripheral, cervical and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials after median or ulnar nerve stimulation were recorded in 21 patients with cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy or myelopathy. The test was normal when pain and paraesthesias were the only symptoms, while pathological in radiculopathy with objective neurological signs. The results varied in patients with cervical myelopathy.

Delayed cervical somatosensory potentials in cervical spondylosis.
The cervical somatosensory evoked potential after median nerve stimulation was recorded in 14 patients with cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy and, in 10 cases, myelopathy. Four patients had normal potentials, five showed delayed potentials, and in five others no potential could be seen.
متن کاملPeripheral and central somatosensory nerve conduction defects in Friedreich's ataxia.
Somatosensory evoked potentials were recorded over the clavicle, cervical spine, mastoid processes and the hand area of the contralateral somatosensory cortex to median nerve stimulation in 22 cases of Friedreich's ataxia. There was a marked attenuation of the clavicular potential, but little evidence of delay of this or the major cervical component. A dispersed and delayed cortical response wa...
متن کاملSomatosensory evoked potentials in syringomyelia.
The two types of upper limb somatosensory evoked potential abnormality observed in nine patients with syringomyelia were reduced amplitude or absent cervical potentials and an abnormal central conduction time. Although this pattern of abnormalities resembles that observed in other intrinsic spinal cord lesions, it differs from peripheral nerve diseases and cervical radiculopathy in which the ce...
متن کاملSpinal N13 versus cortical N20 and dermatomal somatosensory evoked potential studies in patients with cervical radiculopathy
Spinal SEP; N13; Cervical Radiculopathy Abstract Introduction: Most studies on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in cases of cervical radiculopathy routinely analyze scalp (cortical) responses (mixed or dermatomal SEPs), depending mainly on evaluation of N20 whose origin is the primary somatosensory cortex. It was suggested that selective study of the N13 potential, might be a useful techn...
متن کاملSensory conduction study in chronic sensory ataxic neuropathy.
Sensory conduction was studied in six patients with chronic sensory ataxic neuropathy of an idiopathic type and associated with Sjögren's syndrome. Motor nerve conduction velocities were normal in most cases, but sensory nerve potentials could not be evoked in a routine peripheral nerve conduction study. Cortical and cervical somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) and evoked potentials from Erb...
