Prognostic importance of brainstem auditory evoked responses after asphyxia.

Brainstem auditory evoked responses were recorded after acute asphyxia in 126 infants, ages birth through 18 months. Of these, 21 had markedly abnormal amplitude ratios, and all infants with abnormal amplitude ratios had severe neurologic handicaps. An abnormal amplitude ratio predicts long-term neurologic sequelae of acute asphyxia in infants. Normal amplitude ratios did not, however, ensure normal neurologic outcome; 10 infants with normal responses were severely handicapped.

Brainstem auditory evoked response in the diagnosis of pediatric neurologic diseases.

Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) were measured in pediatric patients with neurologic diseases. Abnormalities of interwave intervals, amplitude ratios, and response to changing rate of stimulation were found in patients with tumors, myelin disorders, anoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, trauma, and neurodegenerative disorders. Reversibility of brainstem abnormalities (excluding multiple sclerosis) and sensitivity to toxic-metabolic disorders are features of the response not previously described in adults with neurologic disorders. The BAER is a promising new tool for the investigation of pediatric neurologic disease.

Brain stem auditory evoked potentials in patients with congenital atresia.

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the value of the brain stem auditory evoked response in the definitive assessment of newborn and older infants with congenital malformations of the auditory system. Clinical cases selected illustrate the methodology required in the evaluation and demonstrate how the technique can facilitate immediate and appropriate medical and habilitative services.
