Abstract
Cerebral evoked potentials (EPs) have been included among the tests for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) as methods for paraclinical demonstration of multifocal CNS involvement [1]. Their use has also been suggested in MS monitoring in order to evaluate disease progression and treatment efficacy objectively [2–4]. In this point the role of EPs is not well established and results are inconclusive [5–10].
