Analysis of somatosensory evoked potentials in peroneal nerve palsy. 1987

J Ito, and S Yamao, and M Kameyama

The peroneal nerve SEPs over the CZ' of the scalp were studied in patients with peroneal nerve palsy. The initial positive peak latencies of P27 (to popliteal fossa stimulation), P30 (to fibular neck stimulation) and P37 (to dorsum of the foot stimulation) were measured. The latency difference P30-P27 was prolonged in all patients with the fibular head lesions. In patients with the superficial peroneal nerve lesions at the foreleg, P37-P27 was prolonged whereas P30-P27 was normal. Clinical application of peroneal nerve SEPs was useful in deciding the site of the lesion causing the peroneal nerve palsy.
