Somatosensory-evoked cortical potential during attacks of paroxysmal dysesthesia in multiple sclerosis

Eur J Neurol. 2005 Mar;12(3):233-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1468-1331.2004.00831.x.

Abstract

Paroxysmal dysesthesia is considered to be one of the characteristic symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), but the lesion responsible and the pathophysiology of this dysesthesia are not known. We report the interesting finding of somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) in a patient with MS during a paroxysmal dysesthesia attack.
