  • Title: Evaluation of various brain structures in multiple sclerosis with multimodality evoked potentials, blink reflex and nystagmography.
    Author: Tackmann W, Strenge H, Barth R, Sojka-Raytscheff A.
    Journal: J Neurol; 1980; 224(1):33-46. PubMed ID: 6157797.
    Abstract:
    Pattern reversal visual evoked potentials (VEP), blink reflexes, auditory brainstem evoked potentials (ABEP), spinal and scalp recorded somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), and nystagmographic records were investigated in 55 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), who were separated in different categories of probability according to the clinical history, symptoms, and signs. The combined use of different electrophysiological methods forms a sensitive battery for investigating clinically uncertain cases of MS. It was stressed that care should be taken in the interpretation of the electrophysiological findings, since a single lesion in the central nervous system, particularly in the brainstem, may affect different functional systems simultaneously and therefore mimic a disseminated disease.
