    Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and neurography reveal complex alterations in dystrophia myotonica patients. While many show abnormalities, specific BAEP latencies did not significantly differ from controls, highlighting intricate neurological involvement.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurophysiology

    Context:

    • Dystrophia myotonica is a complex genetic disorder affecting multiple systems.
    • Auditory pathway involvement is a potential complication, necessitating detailed electrophysiological assessment.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and neurography findings in patients with dystrophia myotonica.
    • To explore correlations between electrophysiological parameters, hearing disturbances, and metabolic factors.

    Summary:

    • In 15 dystrophia myotonica patients, 53% exhibited abnormal BAEPs and 80% showed abnormal neurography.
    • No significant differences in peak and interwave latencies were observed between patients and controls.
    • Hearing disturbances impacted early BAEP components, while triglycerides correlated with nerve conduction velocity.
