Image classification of idiopathic spinal cord herniation based on symptom severity and surgical outcome: a multicenter study.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECT: The purpose of this study was to provide the first evidence for image classification of idiopathic spinal cord herniation (ISCH) in a multicenter study. METHODS: Twelve patients who underwent surgery for ISCH were identified, and ... Read more...

Loss of somatosensory-evoked potentials and the timing of perception.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine if patients with brain lesions who have a unilateral loss of their primary somatosensory-evoked potential (SSEP) have altered temporal perception. BACKGROUND: Benjamin Libet postulated that the neural processing of stimuli to ... Read more...

Microsurgical repair of peripheral trigeminal nerve injuries from maxillofacial trauma.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: Injuries to the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve from maxillofacial trauma can have distressing sensory or functional sequelae. The present study reports the results of trigeminal microneurosurgical repair in a series of patients ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Somatosensory Disorders'

Definition: Disorders of sensory information received from superficial and deep regions of the body. The somatosensory system conveys neural impulses which pertain to proprioception, tactile sensation, thermal sensation, pressure sensation, and pain. PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; and BRAIN DISEASES may be associated with impaired or abnormal somatic sensation.
