An Interpretation of a Somatosensory Evoked Response Test

Post a new topicby Guest on Sat Feb 09, 2002 7:26 pm

Can you explain to me what this exactly means. I had this test done a long time ago and would like to know what it means. I moved out of state then and havent been to a Dr recently for this.
It says that its an abnormal somatosensory evoked response. The absence on the left median nerve stimulation of even an Erb's point suggests a Peripheral Involvement (distal to the cervical spinal cord) as opposed to central involvement.

Clinical Correlation is required.

I thanks you for answering my question

The test suggests that the problem you are having involves the peripheral nerves, as opposed to the spinal cord or brain sensory pathways.
