Brain stem auditory evoked potentials in Arnold-Chiari malformation: possible prognostic value and changes with
Neurosurgery
|January 1, 1985
Summary
Surgical decompression improved brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) in an infant with Chiari II malformation and myelomeningocele. This suggests BAEPs may predict clinical outcomes in similar pediatric cases.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pediatric Neurosurgery
- Clinical Neurophysiology
Background:
- Symptomatic Arnold-Chiari malformation (Chiari II) presents a controversial clinical entity regarding its natural history and surgical management.
- Abnormal brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) are frequently observed in children with myelomeningocele, ranging from 50% to 86%.
