somatosensory evoked potentials (seps)

What are the limitations of SEPs in Pediatrics?

While SEPs offer valuable insights, they do have limitations. The procedure requires the child to remain still, which can be challenging for younger patients. Sedation, if needed, carries its own risks. Additionally, interpreting SEPs in children can be complex due to the ongoing development of the nervous system. Variations in normal developmental milestones can affect the results, making it essential for the interpreting clinician to have specialized knowledge in pediatric neurology.
