In 57 patients with clinical signs and surgical documentation of compressive myelopathy, ulnar nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were more sensitive (with 74% abnormal) than either median or tibial nerve SEPs. The most frequent abnormalities were reduced or absent neck evoked responses and prolonged central conduction time. All subjects who had an SEP abnormality were identified by combined tibial and ulnar SEPs. Median nerve SEP added no additional information. Normal ulnar and tibial nerve SEPs were also able to exclude major cord damage in patients with cervical radiculopathy but little evidence of myelopathy.
