  • Title: Monitoring auditory nerve potentials during operations in the cerebellopontine angle.
    Author: Møller AR, Jannetta PJ.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 1984 Aug; 92(4):434-9. PubMed ID: 6435065.
    Abstract:
    Direct monitoring of auditory nerve potentials was performed in 19 patients undergoing retromastoid craniectomy and microvascular decompression of cranial nerves. In addition, brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BSEPs) were monitored in these patients. No patient suffered significant hearing loss. Direct monitoring of auditory nerve potentials complements the recording of BSEPs because the auditory nerve potentials can be visualized without averaging many responses. Therefore the effect of any intraoperative manipulation that is harmful to the auditory nerve can be detected instantaneously.
