Auditory brain stem responses in neurological disease.

A Starr, J Achor

    Archives of Neurology
    |November 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Auditory brain stem responses, electrical signals from the brain stem, aid in diagnosing neurological disorders. These tests help pinpoint issues like coma, tumors, and reduced brain stem circulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Auditory brain stem responses (ABRs) are low-amplitude potentials detected via scalp electrodes.
    • These potentials reflect electrical activity in the auditory pathway through the brain stem.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the utility of ABRs in diagnosing various neurological conditions.
    • To assess ABRs for evaluating coma, brain stem tumors, demyelination, and circulation deficits.

    Main Methods:

    • Recording of seven distinct auditory brain stem responses within 10 milliseconds of click stimuli.
    • Utilizing computer averaging techniques for signal detection from scalp electrodes in human subjects.

    Main Results:

    • Auditory brain stem responses proved valuable in the diagnostic process for neurological disorders.
    • ABRs assisted in localizing brain stem tumors and demyelination.
    • ABRs helped evaluate mechanisms of coma and diminished brain stem circulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditory brain stem responses are a significant tool in clinical neurophysiology.
    • ABRs facilitate the diagnosis and localization of diverse brain stem pathologies.
