Objectives: To assess and compare the prevalence of migraine in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) and matched controls.
Background: Recent studies have suggested an association between migraine and RLS. Our work is the first case-control study on this subject performed in an RLS population.
Introduction: The consequences derived from medullar harm caused during several spinal cord surgical interventions can often be catastrophic for the patient, even more taking into consideration that many of them are young.
Development: This problem is observed specially at interventions of spinal malformations (kyphoscoliosis), but also during other surgical techniques like fractures, degenerations, spinal tumors and aortic lesions. The use of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) began at late 70's, as a method to monitorize spinal cord function during surgery; years later, motor evoked potentials (MEP) joined this option, giving us direct information about the functioning of posterior spinothalamic tract (posterior column) and lateral corticospinal tract (pyramidal tract), respectively.
