Abstract

Evoked potentials (EPs) may disclose silent lesions of the sensory pathways in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) and thus help towards the diagnosis by demonstrating the spatial dissemination of the disease. In spite of the important amount of articles published over the past ten years to support the view that visual (VEPs), brainstem auditory (BAEPs), and somatosensory (SEPs) potentials are essential for MS diagnosis some questions still remain worth to be debated.
