FV 8 An update on neurophysiological diagnostic in pediatric neurology

Evoked potentials are an important neurophysiological method in pediatrics. Most commonly used are brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP), visual evoked potentials (VEP) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP). BAEPs are useful in screening for hearing disorders and for evaluating brain stem function. VEPs are performed to evaluate visual functioning and for diagnosis of demyelinating diseases. SEPs allow evaluation of the functional integrity of the somatosensory system from the peripheral nerve to the cerebral cortex and can be a useful additional prognostic tool in determining coma and asphyxia outcome.
