[The value of somesthetic homolateral evoked potentials in agenesis of the corpus callosum (author's transl)].

The authors describe the homolateral somesthetic evoked responses in 8 cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum. They stress the differences compared to normals in the same way that contralateral somesthetic evoked responses differ. The authors consider the possibility of an independent cortical generator responsible for this response and suggest that systematic recording of somesthetic homolateral evoked potentials might be of considerable value in early diagnosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum.
