Clinical, neurological, neurophysiological examinations including registration of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) were performed in 25 patients with impaired thermoregulation of the central origin. It was found that amplitude of all the SEP components in patients had become significantly reduced compared to normal subjects. Most prominent shifts occurred in hyperthermia patients with neuroendocrine and metabolic abnormality which acquired monotonic and stable patterns. SEP impairment was more severe in the right hemisphere.
