Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials in children with brain-stem or cerebellar dysfunction.

S L Davis, M J Aminoff, B O Berg

    Archives of Neurology
    |February 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) can detect brain-stem dysfunction in children. While abnormalities are nonspecific, they frequently indicate neoplastic and neurodegenerative diseases affecting white matter or the brain-stem.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) assess auditory pathway function.
    • Pediatric brain-stem and cerebellar dysfunction present with diverse etiologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of BAEPs in diagnosing pediatric brain-stem and cerebellar dysfunction.
    • To correlate BAEP findings with specific neurological conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • BAEPs were recorded in 23 children with signs of brain-stem or cerebellar dysfunction.
    • Findings were analyzed in relation to specific diagnoses including brain-stem gliomas, leukoencephalopathies, Leigh's encephalopathy, and others.

    Main Results:

    • BAEPs were abnormal in most brain-stem glioma patients.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Abnormalities were noted in inheritable leukoencephalopathies and Leigh's encephalopathy, sometimes preceding CT scan findings.
  • BAEPs were normal in vitamin E deficiency but abnormal in Friedreich's ataxia and giant axonal dystrophy.

    • Conclusions:

    • BAEP abnormalities are nonspecific but valuable indicators in pediatric neurological disorders.
    • The test is particularly sensitive to neoplastic and neurodegenerative diseases with brain-stem or white matter involvement.
