[Basis for the study of erectile dysfunction with pudendal evoked potentials].
The evaluation of erectile dysfunction by popliteal and pudendal evoked potentials is not widely utilized in our country, although the foregoing has proved to be a useful technique in the evaluation of a possible neurological etiology. This study describes this simple, fast and low cost method of evaluation and reports the normal ranges. The study comprised 40 subjects; 15 were healthy volunteers and the remaining had consulted for impotence and referred antecedents suggesting a neurological etiology. The results show that a latency of 40.9 +/- 2.1 msec in P1 for the pudendal evoked potentials is normal. Concerning the popliteal evoked potentials, the normal latency for P1 is 38.07 +/- 2.8 msec.
