青少年特发性脊柱侧凸患者体感诱发电位的特点及与Cobb角的关系

Objective To investigate the abnormality of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with different curve magnitudes, and to explore its effect on the etiopathogenesis of AIS. Methods Posterior tibial nerve SEPs were evaluated on 489 young operative treated AIS patients with a Cobb angle > 40°and 45 age-matched healthy control individuals. Absence of SEPs waveforms, prolongation of peek latency or asymmetrical peek latency were defined as pathological change. Base on the control reference, the incidence of pathological SEPs was determined in AIS group. The association of abnormal SEPs and curve severity for MS patients was also assessed. Results Peek latency corrected for body height was slightly longer in AIS patients than in controls, however, with no significant difference. Interside difference of latency was significantly larger in AIS patients. Abnormal SEPs were found in 166 of 489 AIS patients. Among these, 17 (10.2%) showed absent waveforms, 50 (30.1%) had unilateral latency prolongation, 38 (22.9%) had bilateral latency prolongation, and 120 (72.3%) showed significant interside difference. Statistical analysis failed to show a correlation between abnormal SEPs and the curve severity of spinal deformity. Conclusion Disorder of somatosensory pathways does exist in a subgroup of AIS patients, and it might be a primary factor other than secondary change, and could play an import role in the etiopathogenesis of AIS.

Intra-operative spinal cord monitoring during surgery for scoliosis using somatosensory evoked potentials

The method of intra-operative monitoring of spinal cord function by spinal somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), as used at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children during surgery for scoliosis is described. Using a non-polarisable platinum spinal epidural electrode, SEP elicited by tibial and peroneal nerve stimulation in the popliteal fossa are recorded proximal to the level of spinal correction. The large amplitude and discrete waveform of the SEP enable rapid signal acquisition and easy interpretation. The spinal SEP is stable under both therapeutic hypotension and general anaesthesia. Electrophysiological monitoring has now superceded the 'wake-up' test as an index of spinal cord function during corrective surgery for scoliosis.

Recording of spinal somatosensory evoked potentials for intraoperative spinal cord monitoring

The authors' experience with intradural and epidural recording of spinal somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP's) during 26 cases of spinal surgery is described. The techniques of monitoring spinal cord function provided good quality SSEP waveforms in patients both with and without neurological deficits. The SSEP configuration and peak latencies remained stable for up to 5 hours during anesthesia with nitrous oxide, halothane, and fentanyl. Patterns of baseline SSEP's were characteristic of different spinal segments. Distortion and asymmetry of these baseline patterns were seen in several patients with spinal neoplasms. Loss of waveform components during surgery occurred with profound hypotension, overdistraction of the vertebral axis, dorsal midline myelotomy, and removal of intramedullary tumors. Persistent loss of waveform components was associated with an acquired neurological deficit. Fluctuations in the amplitude of the SSEP's were common but were not associated with postoperative neurological deficits. Spinal cord monitoring by means of SSEP recording would appear to be useful during extradural spinal surgery, but there are limitations associated with this technique during some types of intradural surgery.

A clinical study on intra-operative spinal cord monitoring with spinal evoked potentials for scoliosis

Spinal cord monitoring with the spinal cord evoked potentials using direct spinal cord stimulation is a safe and reliable method. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of the potential change that is permissible to avoid severe neurological complications. Three hundred and fifty-four patients with spinal disorders were monitored with this method. The peak amplitude of the potential used as an indicator of the spinal cord function was evaluated quantitatively. The amplitude changes of those with neurological complication were compared with those without complication. The results in 135 patients with scoliosis were analyzed. False negative results were obtained in two patients who had only slight paresthesia. In the patients with normal spinal cord function, up to 50% reduction of the amplitude was permissible. Spinal monitoring is also useful in the improvement of operative technique because it can immediately disclose injury to the cord resulting from surgical misconduct.     

Effects of spinal cord lesioning on somatosensory and neurogenic-motor evoked potentials

Somatosensory (SEPs) and neurogenic-motor evoked potentials (NMEPs) were elicited from 16 hogs and two humans before, during, and after spinal cordotomy, dorsal, or ventral root rhizotomy. Results indicated that SEPs appear to be insensitive to the effects of motor tract lesioning in hogs and humans. In every case of motor paraplegia, SEPs remained unchanged in the presence of abnormal ischiatic/sciatic NMEPs. These results suggest that SEPs are not adequately sensitive to the functional status of the motor system in hogs and humans. Ischiatic/sciatic NMEPs remained unchanged after sensory tract lesioning, suggesting that these NMEPs are insensitive to the functional status of the sensory system. These results suggest that SEPs and NMEPs should be used in combination when monitoring spinal cord function during surgeries that place that structure at risk.
