title: [Use of somatosensory evoked potentials for prognostic evaluation of patients with intracerebral hematoma].
abstract: Evoked somatosensory potential (SEP) was studied in 15 patients with intracerebral haematomas comparing the obtained results with those in healthy subjects. In all studied patients the diagnosis was based on clinical picture and on computerized tomography. In 6 patients normal symmetrical records of SEP or records with slight differences of latency, amplitude or symmetry of various components between the ipsilateral and contralateral side in relation to the pathological focus were obtained. The postoperative course in this group was good. In 9 patients SEP on the ipsilateral or contralateral side (in relation to the pathological focus) was absent or deformed. The postoperative course in this group was unfavourable, and all patients died despite intensive treatment.
