  • Title: [Damages of the auditory pathway at brain stem level investigated by acoustically evoked potentials (author's transl)].

    Abstract:
    In 57 patients with operated expansive tumors in the postcranial fossa auditory evoked brain stem potentials were investigated. A group of 36 with neurological evidence for the brain stem compression showed significantly prolonged latencies (Fig. 1), whereas the evoked potentials were nearly normal in the preceding state of CSF circulatory disturbances (21 cases). For one patient with a neurinoma of the right trigeminal root the post-operative reduction of the pathological latency shift is demonstrated (Fig. 2). Latency evaluation of evoked brain stem potentials are used in our clinical routine for differential diagnosis of retrocochlear hearing damages.
