Tabes dorsalis: electrodiagnostic features.
- Department of Neurology, Wake Forest University, Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC 27103.
Abstract
Electrodiagnostic data have not been previously reported in tabes dorsalis. A patient with tabes dorsalis is described whose nerve conduction studies and median nerve somatosensory evoked responses (SEPs) were normal. H-reflexes were absent. SEPs of the tibial nerve suggested posterior column dysfunction. These electrodiagnostic findings correlate precisely with the known pathology of tabes dorsalis.
