[Auditory evoked brain stem potentials, visual pattern evoked and somatosensory evoked potentials in transient ischemic attacks (TIA)].

Auditory-evoked brainstem potentials, visual pattern-evoked and somatosensory-evoked potentials in transitory ischemic attacks (TIA). Pathological findings in patients suffering from transitory ischemic attacks by means of using neuroradiological methods (CCT included) are a rare condition. The combination of visual checkerboard-evoked potentials (VEP), auditory brainstem-evoked (AEP) and somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEP) can detect functional lesions in cerebral regions with different blood supply but without diagnostic risk. A delay of peak III of the AEP is possibly of specific value with regard to brainstem lesion caused by TIA in our patients.

[Thrombosis of A. cer media in Werlhof's disease (author's transl)].

Apoplectiform incidents, particularly in young patients, can be an exceptional problem for neurologists and internists, even when every technical aid for diagnosis is available. This paper is intended to point out that even in a basic disease like Werlhof's disease, which is accompanied by an increased hemorrhagic tendency, several additive or potentiating unfavorable factors can produce a thrombosis in the region of a cerebral vessel and for this reason they should be included in the differential diagnostic considerations.
