Magnetic stimulation motor evoked potential in multiple sclerosis. Comparison with visual evoked potentials, brain stem auditory evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials]

This study consists of 45 patients with clinically definite MS, laboratory supported definite MS and clinically probable MS. We compared MEP results with other multimodal evoked potentials (VEP, BAEP and SEP). The abnormal rate of MEP was 87.6%, which was the highest. Abnormal MEP showed prolonged central motor conduction time (CMCT), consistent with pathological change of the demyelination. There was a evident correlation between the abnormal MEP and VEP, which is consistent with the most common MS (Devic Syndrome) in our country.

Neurophysiologic and intellectual evaluation of beta-thalassemia patients

In order to detect involvement of the central and peripheral nervous system in beta-thalassemic patients, 32 children and young adults (mean age 14.5 +/- 6.4 years) participated in a systematic neurophysiologic and intellectual prospective study. All patients were in a regular transfusion program, receiving subcutaneous desferrioxamine chelation and maintaining a mean serum ferritin level of 2,101.56 +/- 986.32 ng/ml. Study patients underwent neurophysiologic evaluation consisting of brainstem auditory, visual and somatosensory evoked potential examination (BAEP, VEP, SEP) as well as motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity studies (MCV, SCV). Additionally, the verbal, performance and total IQ were assessed in patients under 16 years of age using the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III). The incidence of abnormal BAEP, VEP, SEP and NCVs was 0, 3.12, 3.12 and 18.75%, respectively, findings comparative to or better than previously reported. On the contrary, the prevalence of abnormal total IQ score was considerably high (36.4%), not correlating, however, to any of the parameters assessed (age, sex, ferritin level, BAEP, VEP, SEP, NCV). Factors associated with chronic illness, rather than the disease per se, could play a potential role in the development of cognitive dysfunction in beta-thalassemia patients.     

Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials in multiple sclerosis: the relation to VEP,SEP and CSF immunoglobulins

Summary One hundred patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were analysed retrospectively with respect to investigations of brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP), pattern reversal visual evoked potentials (VEP), somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), and cerebrospinal fluid immunoglobulins (CSF-IG). BAEP were abnormal in 42% of those with normal VEP and SEP examinations, and in 38% of patients with normal CSF-IG. The chance of obtaining at least one abnormal EP was lower in patients with normal CSF-IG than in patients with abnormal CSF. When a dispersion ratio was included in the criteria for BAEP abnormality, the sensitivity increased compared with conventional BAEP criteria. We recommend that BAEP should still be included in the EP test battery for patients with suspected MS.     

EEG,evoked potentials and pulsed Doppler in asphyxiated term infants

ObjectiveTo evaluate electroencephalograms (EEG), evoked potentials (EPs) and Doppler findings in the cerebral arteries as predictors of a 1-year outcome in asphyxiated newborn infants.MethodsEEG and EPs (brain stem auditory (BAEP), somatosensory (SEP), visual (VEP) evoked potentials) were assessed in 30 asphyxiated and 30 healthy term infants during the first days (range 1–8). Cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) were measured from the cerebral arteries using pulsed Doppler at ∼24 h of age. EEG, EPs, Doppler findings, symptoms of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and their combination were evaluated in predicting a 1-year outcome.ResultsAn abnormal EEG background predicted poor outcome in the asphyxia group with a sensitivity of 67% and 81% specificity, and an abnormal SEP with 75% and 79%, respectively. Combining increased systolic CBFV (mean + 3SD) with abnormal EEG or SEP improved the specificity, but not the sensitivity. The predictive values of abnormal BAEP and VEP were poor. Normal EEG and SEP predicted good outcome in the asphyxia group with sensitivities from 79% to 81%. The combination of normal EEG, normal SEP and systolic CBFV < 3SD predicted good outcome with a sensitivity of 74% and 100% specificity.ConclusionsCombining abnormal EEG or EPs findings with increased systolic CBFV did not improve prediction of a poor 1-year outcome of asphyxiated infants. Normal EEG and normal SEP combined with systolic CBFV < 3SD at about 24 h can be valuable in the prediction of normal 1-year outcome.SignificanceCombining systolic CBFV at 24 h with EEG and SEP examinations can be of use in the prediction of normal 1-year outcome among asphyxiated infants.     

Visual, early auditory and somatosensory evoked potentials in multiple sclerosis (917 cases)

Visual (VEP), brainstem auditory (BAEP) and somatosensory (SEP) evoked potentials were recorded over a 6 year period in 917 patients with or suspected of multiple sclerosis according to Mc Alpine's criteria. Evoked potentials provided information of diagnostic relevance in detecting clinically unsuspected lesions (spatial dissemination). They also gave valuable informations in patients with atypical or borderline clinical features. When abnormal, VEP indicated clinically silent lesions in 45.1 p. 100 of patients with definite MS, 66 p. 100 of those with probable MS and 78 p. 100 of the possible MS. Less than 15 p. 100 of SEP and/or BAEP abnormalities were found in 83 patients with a simple or recurring retrobulbar optic neuritis. Thirteen patients with acute transverse myelopathy and no prior history of neurological disease were studied. All had normal visual and brainstem auditory evoked potentials. Abnormal VEPs helped to the clinical assessment of 88 patients with progressive spastic paraparesis 46,6 p. 100 of whom had abnormal VEPs demonstrating disseminated lesions and 36,1 p. 100 had abnormal BAEPs. The frequency of the various types of VEP, BAEP and SEP abnormalities was studied as well as their course on repeated recordings. Results of multivariate analysis are given. It was found that the longer the time interval between the first MS relapse and the evoked potential recording, the higher the incidence of abnormalities. The incidence of evoked potentials abnormalities was lower in patients with normal CSF and higher in patients with inflammatory CSF. The abnormalities were more frequent when patients had clinical evidence of lesions of the sensory pathways explored by the tests.     

Sensory (VEP, BAEP, SEP) and motor-evoked potentials, liquoral and magnetic resonance findings in multiple sclerosis

In order to define the most suitable instrumental protocol for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), 41 patients with definite (D = 14), probable (P = 14) and suspected (S = 13) MS were examined with CSF immunology, brain MRI and multimodal evoked potentials. The central motor tracts were also tested. The following alteration rates were found: MRI = 78%, CSF = 63.6%, VEP = 70.0%, median nerve SEP = 50%, peroneal nerve SEP = 68.0%, BAEPs = 35.7%, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) = 74.0%. Altogether, EPs were abnormal in 90% of cases. Normal MRI with altered EPs were found in 22% of cases, whilst a normal EP battery with defective CSF or MRI findings were found in 7%. Twenty-six out of 27 patients with P or S forms were reclassified into a D one when considering EPs and MRI features.

Abstract：

Objective To explore the application of intraoperative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and motor evoked potentials (MEP) during intracranial aneurysm surgery.Methods SEP, BAEP or MEPs were monitored during operations on 16 patients with intracranial aneurysms.The relationship between the intraoperative changes of electrophysiological signals and the postoperative outcomes of neurological deficits was evaluated.Results 11 patients without abnormal intraoperative electrophysiological signal changes demonstrated no new neurological deficits after surgery.However, in the left 5 patients, abnormal changes of intraoperative electrophysiological signals were detected.Among these 5 patients, 4 with abnormal electrophysiological signals which were not recovered intraoperatively demonstrated new developed functional deficits immediately after surgery.Conclusion During intracranial aneurysm surgery, the monitoring on SEP, MEP and BAEP is beneficial not only to timely detecting neurological functional deficits resulted from intraoperative cerebral ischemia, but also to properly guiding surgical manipulation, and to reliably predicting postoperative outcome as well.
