Somatosensory evoked potentials in syringomyelia

Somatosensory evoked potentials in syringomyelia

N E Anderson et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

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 central conduction time is normal.
