Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials
Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) are electrical field potentials generated by stimulation of the auditory pathways. With repetitive auditory stimulation, reproducible electrical potentials can be elicited and recorded from scalp electrodes. These waves are generated by specific brain regions and occur at predictable intervals. Clinically, this neurophysiological property is useful t...
متن کامل[Brainstem auditory evoked potentials in diabetes mellitus].
It is well-known that diabetic patients develop peripheral and autonomic neuropathy, and recent review has also suggested the occurrence of central pathway abnormality in diabetics. In this article, we conducted the BAEP study on 61 cases of NIDDM and 11 cases of IDDM. Peak latency, interpeak latency (IPL) and peak amplitude of BAEPs were analyzed in each case. For further correlation, the moto...
متن کاملBrainstem auditory evoked responses in brainstem infarction.
Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) were recorded in 40 patients with clinically definite brainstem infarction, and results were compared to localizations from physical signs and CT scans. The BAER was abnormal in 92% of patients with evidence on physical examination of dysfunction of lateral structures in the pons or midbrain. Normal BAERs were seen with medially-situated or medullary ...
متن کاملBrainstem auditory evoked potentials study in patients with diabetes mellitus.
OBJECTIVES To analyze the correlation between brainstem-auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and nerve conduction (NC) studies in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the results from the subjects who received our neurological screening test including BAEP and NC studies. A DM group and a control group were applied. The DM group was subdivided 4 subgroups inc...
متن کاملBrainstem auditory evoked potentials in children with lead exposure.
INTRODUCTION Earlier studies have demonstrated an auditory effect of lead exposure in children, but information on the effects of low chronic exposures needs to be further elucidated. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of low chronic exposures of the auditory system in children with a history of low blood lead levels, using an auditory electrophysiological test. METHODS Contemporary cross-...
