The etiology of cord damage by distraction is probably due to ischemia. 4) In one patient who had an incomplete spinal cord injury, the S.E.P. has disappeared during correction of the kyphoscoliosis with a Harrington Distraction Rod, however with the partial release of distraction, it recovered immediately. In another patient with supposedly complete injury at C_5 level incompleteness was actually proved with the examination of the spinal evoked potentials. In two incomplete cord injuries at C_4 and C_6 injuries respectively, a nearly normal S.E.P. was recorded. In the case of complete quadriplegic patients, the S.E.P. was not recorded at all the level above lesion. 5) As the results of our study, we are certain that the S.E.P. which is obtained from K-wire inserted into the spinous processes can be safely and easily used for the examination of spinal cord function in various clinical situation. The gained data was also highly reliable., 金沢大学医薬保健研究域保健学系}, pages = {157--164}, title = {脊椎棘突起誘導による誘発脊髄電位の実験的研究及び脊髄損傷患者への臨床応用}, volume = {17}, year = {1980} }
