Somatosensory cerebral potentials evoked by paraspinal stimulation: an approach to spinal cord monitoring

  • Chapter

  • 94 Accesses

Abstract

In recent years several papers have been published on the usefulness of evoked potentials in the diagnosis of root entrapment in the lumbar or cervical region. These methods have improved the diagnosis of radiculopathies. A variety of recording techniques has been presented and many authors described the use of dermatomal stimulation1–7. The usefulness of somatosensory potentials evoked by stimulation of mixed nerves (such as peroneal or tibial nerves) in spinal cord pathologies is widely described in the literature.
