purpose: to determine the clinical and paraclinical features of multiple sclerosis (ms) in patients presenting for the first time with optic neuritis. methods:  in this descriptive study, 35 patients with clinical evidence of optic neuritis were enrolled. our evaluation included a neurological examination, visual evoked potentials (vep), brainstem-auditory evoked potentials (baep), and brain mr...

the clinical and phenotypic features of two siblings (a 12 years old girl and her 7 year old brother) with cockayne syndrome are described. the main problems were mild to moderate mental retardation, dwarfism, clumsy gait, photosensitive skin lesions and progeroid (senile like) appearance. brain ct - scans revealed symmetrical, well defined areas of calcification mainly located at lenticular nu...

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...

Herein, we report a case of multiple sclerosis in which peripheral and central hearing, were evaluated through early (brainstem), middle and late auditory evoked potentials before and after corticosteroid therapy. Auditory evaluation revealed better performance on all post-treatment tests. In this case, central auditory function tests (behavioral and electrophysiological) identified the locatio...

Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) are electrical potentials recorded in response to an auditory stimulus. Wavelet transform is adopted to extract the characteristic features of BAEP for interpretation and assessment. The results shows that there is significant difference (p<0.05) in the wavelet coefficients features in normal and abnormal BAEPs. Keywords— Brainstem Auditory Evoked pot...

Brainstem auditory evoked potentials were recorded in 117 newborn infants of less than 33 weeks of gestation. The potentials were absent in 10 infants (bilaterally in eight and unilaterally in two) and present in 107. By 1 year of age nine of the 10 infants with absent brainstem auditory evoked potentials were shown to have sensory neural hearing loss and required hearing aids: the remaining in...

A 13-year-old boy with imipramine overdose developed seizures, respiratory arrest, and coma. Abnormalities of oculovestibular reflexes, electroencephalograms, and brainstem auditory evoked potentials were monitored in relation to measurements of drug levels. An alpha-coma electroencephalographic pattern evolved into one evidencing spindle coma and eventually into a normal pattern. Prolonged bra...
