title: [Short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials in injuries of the cervical division of the spinal cord].
abstract: Short-latent cortical potentials and induced potentials (IP) recorded from the cervical spine in response to electrical stimulation of the median nerve on the wrist were studied in patients with injury to the cervical parts of the spine and spinal cord. The changes in the pronounced character of the somatosensory induced potentials (SSIP) proved to be more marked than those in the controls. A group of patients with considerable increase of peak N1 and corresponding increase of the time of conduction along the central nervous system (up to 20 msec) was distinguished. The latent period (LP) of IP recorded in the region of the cervical parts of the spinal cord was also prolonged in these patients. The pronounced character of the SSIP changes corresponded to that of the neurological disorders in these patients and the course of the subsequent restorative period.
