Clinical and neurophysiologic characteristics of somatosensory afferentation system in patients with hemispherical ischemic stroke

Method of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) was applied for examinatio n of 36 patients in early restorative period of ischemic stroke located in internal capsule, in cortical-subcortical area of parieto-temporal cerebral regions or in cortical-subcortical areas of frontal areas. 15 healthy indi viduals formed a control group. Electrophysiologic SSEP pattern was not hom ogeneous and depended on the location of a damage focus in cerebral hemisph eres. Peculiarities of generatory mechanisms of SSEP components' forming in ischemic stroke, are presented.
