ABSTRACT
The multimodality evoked potentials(MEP)(somatosensory, auditory, and visual evoked potentials) is studied in patients with various head trauma. The use of evoked potentials for the evaluation of disorders of the nervous system has become a most valuable aid to the neurosurgeon and neurologist, often providing information of critical value without recourse to invasive technique. The multimodality evoked potentials is classified in three grades per modality as the degree of abnormality of the electrophysiological data. Data from 20 normal Korean subject are given for comparison with the abnormal data obtained from 96 patiemts with head trauma. The multimodality evoked potentials is a simple and useful method for clinical evaluation of abnormal function of the brain and prediciton of the patient's outcome in the head trauma patients.
