Résumé : Advances made in clinical neurophysiology will help to solve the problems involved in evaluating nerve lesions for which clinical examination has not produced a satisfactory answer. An example discussed in this report concerns the objectivation of sensory signs of cutaneous paresthesias and hypoesthesias of which patients with recent trauma may complain and in which there is no sign of motor nerve lesion. In these cases electromyography remains negative. On the other hand, the cerebral evoked potential often permits to objectivate an organic attack of cutaneous innervation in a certain number of these patients.
