Abstract
The sensory pathways of 18 infants and children with myelomeningocele were studied by recording somatosensory evoked cortical responses to standardised electrical stimuli over major nerve trunks in the arms and legs. The 12 infants were tested between the ages of three days and eight months and the six children were tested between two and three years of age. In the majority of patients the results obtained by this technique correlated well with the clinical testing of sensation.Keywords
