Evoked electromyographic studies were carried out in two patients with cervical spinal cord tumor and in four patients with cervical myelopathy.Following repeating stimuli, these patients were divided into two groups, that one had high plateau level and another revealed fluctuations in the amplitude of the H waves. The authors could not found the difference between the cervical spinal cord tumor and the cervical myelopathy.On the other hand there were no definite relation between the evoked electromyograms and the macroscopic views of the spinal cord following laminectomy.The authors concluded that evoked electromyographic examinations will specific information concerning the prognosis of the spinal cord disorders.
