title: Somatosensory dysfunction in cystic fibrosis.
abstract: Posterior tibial somatosensory evoked potentials were obtained in a group of cystic fibrosis patients and age-matched controls. A small but significant delay of the lumbar potential and larger delays of the early scalp potentials were observed. These findings are consistent with earlier pathological studies demonstrating involvement of the somatosensory system in cystic fibrosis.
