  • Title: Electrophysiological study on hydranencephaly.
    Author: Tayama M, Hashimoto T, Mori K, Miyazaki M, Hamaguchi H, Kuroda Y, Fukuda K, Endo S.
    Journal: Brain Dev; 1992 May; 14(3):185-7. PubMed ID: 1514661.
    Abstract:
    An electrophysiological study was performed on 2 children with hydranencephaly diagnosed by CT and/or MRI. Case 1 was a 4-month-old boy who had no rostral tissues above the midbrain. Case 2 was a 5-year-old boy in whom CT showed retention of the thalamus. Short latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) in both cases exhibited the absence of cortical activity (N1 and P4) with the preservation of waves of brain stem origin. However, in case 1, wave component No was not observed, while No was seen in case 2. It was postulated, thus, that the No component of SSEP on median nerve stimulation in children, which corresponds to N16 in adults, may originate in the thalamus.
