  • Title: Short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials correlate with the severity of the neurological deficit and sensory abnormalities following cerebral ischemia.
    Author: Karnaze D, Fisher M, Ahmadi J, Gott P.
    Journal: Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol; 1987 Aug; 67(2):147-50. PubMed ID: 2439291.
    Abstract:
    Short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) were studied in 49 patients who had suffered hemispheric or thalamic ischemia, including 6 patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and 3 patients with reversible ischemic neurological deficits (RINDs). SSEPs were abnormal in 30 patients (61%). SSEP abnormalities correlated with the presence of sensory deficit and the degree of neurological deficit. SSEPs were normal following TIA but were abnormal in 2 of 3 patients with RINDs. SSEPs were abnormal in some patients without sensory deficits suggesting that sensory pathways may be affected when clinically inapparent.
