The authors present a views and opinions highlighting the role of somatosensory evoked potential and its application in neurology as a non-invasive technique studying the entire length of the afferent pathways, especifically the posterior cord, allowing the detection of subclinical disfunction. This study is very useful in diseases involving the myelin sheath, for monitoring sensory pathways function during surgical procedures has progressively become one of its most important applications.
