Somatosensory evoked potentials during spinal surgery.
A L T H O U G H anaesthetists routinely use a myriad of monitors to assess the integrity of many organ systems, we do not commonly monitor the nervous system. During many operative procedures nervous tissue is placed at considerable risk of injury yet, for the most part, continues to go unmonitored. One of the most common operative procedures which places nervous tissue at risk is spinal surger...
متن کاملEvoked spinal cord potentials for diagnosis during brachial plexus surgery.
We used evoked spinal cord potentials (ESCP) for intraoperative diagnosis in 17 cases of traumatic brachial plexus palsy. Forty spinal nerves were directly stimulated during exploration of the brachial plexus and ESCP recorded from the cervical epidural space were compared with simultaneously observed somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and myelographic findings. Both SEP and ESCP could be ev...
متن کاملMonitoring evoked potentials during spinal surgery in one institution.
PURPOSE To review the experience of one tertiary care institution with somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) monitoring during spinal surgery in order to assess the ability to monitor and predict neurological outcome effectively. METHODS Records of all patients undergoing spinal surgery during 18 mo were retrospectively reviewed. Information from the patient chart included preoperative neurol...
متن کاملSpinal somatosensory evoked potentials in patients with tethered cord syndrome.
We studied the electrophysiological changes occurring in six patients with tethered cord syndrome. Evidence of spinal malformations was provided by magnetic resonance imaging. The functional assessment of the spinal cord was performed by analysing both spinal and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials. The evoked electrospinogram was recorded from the thoracic and lumbosacral spinous processe...
متن کاملSpinal somatosensory evoked potentials in hereditary spastic paraplegia.
Cervical somatosensory evoked potentials elicited by median nerve stimulation were recorded from 18 cases of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Motor and sensory nerve conduction in the median nerve was normal in each. In one third of the patients no spinal evoked potential was detectable. In the remainder the amplitude of the evoked potential was reduced in comparison with a control series; the la...
