Spinal evoked potentials (SEPs) were monitored during scoliosis surgery in 11 patients. Epidural bipolar stimulating and recording electrodes were placed caudal and rostral to the site of surgery, respectively. In one case of scoliosis, with overdistraction of the vertebral axis, monitoring SEPs were reduced in amplitude with the delay of latency. These findings were correlated postoperatively with neurological deficits. Continuous recording of SEPs are stable and reproducible monitoring techniqu and make it possible to predict the neurological prognosis intraoperatively.
