| Abstract: | The Authors point out that during anaesthesia with propofol, latencies of early cortical waves after SEP of the posterior tibial nerve do not suffer significant variations: this may turn out to be useful during intraoperative monitoring when having to watch the integrity of nervous structures of spinal cords undergoing handling or possible indirect damage. |
