title: P30 and N33 of posterior tibial nerve SSEPs are analogous to P14 and N18 of median nerve SSEPs.
abstract: Generator sources of far-field P30 and N33 components produced by posterior tibial nerve stimulation were compared with those of the P14 and N18 components of median nerve stimulated somatosensory evoked potentials. Intracranial spatio-temporal distributions of P30 and N33 were similar to those of the P14 and N18 obtained by median nerve stimulation. In clinical cases, the changes in P30 and N33 were correlated with those in P14 and N18, indicative that P30 and N33 are derived from activities similar to those that produce P14 and N18.
