摘要
A technique is described for recording the electromyographic response of the striated urethral sphincter to transcutaneous magnetic stimulation of the brain and spinal cord. A series of 11 control patients have been studied and 3 examples of patients with neurological disease also are reported. The most reliable response was recorded after facilitated transcranial stimulation of the cerebral cortex, with the mean latency of the electromyographic response in the striated sphincter being 26.4 msec. (standard deviation 2.21). It is concluded that assessment of the latency of the striated urethral sphincter electromyographic response to transcranial magnetic stimulation may be a useful technique in the investigation of patients with disorders of micturition.
