ABSTRACT

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is an entity that does not present clinical alterations to level of the sensitive system, and the fact of finding them forces to restate or to discard the diagnosis. Nevertheless, to anatomopathological level they have found alterations in the sensitive system, which they are clinical unapparent. Of there that the intention of this work was to determine the electrophysiological alterations of the multimodality evoked potentials in the patients with ALS. There were studied 6 patients, to whom there were realized brainstem auditory, visual, somatosensory to medial and tibial nerve, event-related evoked potentials and electroretinogram, besides the neuropsychological test of WAIS. We find that if abnormalities exist in the visual, somatosensory of tibial nerve and event-related evoked potentials, that indicate alterations in sensory and cognitive routes; and in the particular case of the somatosensory evoked potentials of tibial nerve think that a statistically significant correlation exists with the scale of state of health of the ALS. Likewise they deal with cognitive subclinical disorders, of there that the event-related potentials and the neuropsychological test of WAIS, they are of usefulness for his diagnosis. For what we conclude that the opportune accomplishment of the evoked potentials will allow us to diagnose the opportunely above mentioned alterations.
