Dissociation of P13-P14 far-field potentials: clinical and MRI correlation

P13 and P14 far-field potentials are recorded over the scalp with median nerve stimulation when non-cephalic reference is used to measure somatosensory evoked potentials. The dissociation of these 2 potentials is exceptional. Only 2 cases subsequent to pontine lesions have been described hitherto. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with a low grade glioma located at the spino-medullary junction who presented a P13-P14 far-field dissociation. This case fully supports the independent nature of the P13 and P14 potential generators.
