Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to median nerve stimulation were studied with noncephalic reference in 4 patients with unilateral or bilateral infarctions in the upper medulla to decide the contribution of scalp-recorded P14, N18 in detecting medial medullary lesions. The P9-P14 interpeak latencies did not change, while the P14-N18 and P14-N20 intervals tended to be slightly prolonged on the severely affected side. The amplitude ratios of P14 and N20, evaluated by dividing the amplitude on the severely affected side by that on the unaffected or less severely affected side, were significantly smaller than that of the cervical N13/P13 component. The amplitude ratios of N18 and N13/P13 did not differ significantly, and a preserved N18 with a depressed P14 in 2 cases indicates separate generators. A characteristic change of P14 in medial medullary infarction is that its amplitude is reduced without delay. Reduction of N18 indicates the presence of lesions in the lower brainstem; however, it is not necessarily associated with medial medullary lesions.

D008475 Median Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand. Median Nerves,Nerve, Median,Nerves, Median
D008526 Medulla Oblongata The lower portion of the BRAIN STEM. It is inferior to the PONS and anterior to the CEREBELLUM. Medulla oblongata serves as a relay station between the brain and the spinal cord, and contains centers for regulating respiratory, vasomotor, cardiac, and reflex activities.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
