Multiple sclerosis plaque related to abnormal somatosensory evoked potentials

W B Matthews 1,2, Margaret Esiri 1,2
PMCID: PMC490368  PMID: 512668

Abstract

A patient with mild multiple sclerosis died from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. It was possible to relate abnormalities of somatosensory evoked potentials recorded some months earlier to a plaque involving the root entry zone in the cervical spinal cord which had not resulted in clinical sensory abnormalities.
