title: Evoked potentials in head injury and states of increased intracranial pressure.
abstract: Recent clinical studies have addressed the utility of sensory evoked potentials (auditory, somatosensory, and visual) in head injury. The clinical significance of evoked potentials in head trauma, states of increased intracranial pressure, and post-traumatic syndrome is discussed. Emphasis is placed on up-to-date studies discussing evoked potential correlation with clinical findings, lesion localization, intracranial pressure, brain herniation, and prognosis.
