Abstract:
Objective To compare the brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) in patients with different kinds of brainstem disorders, so as to offer a significative electrophysiological means for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of different kinds of brainstem disorders. Methods BAEP was recorded from 80 cases of vertebrobasilar arterial insufficiency, 56 cases of acoustic neuroma and 47 cases of chronic cerebellar degeneration and compared with that from 50 healthy people. Results The abnormal rates of the three different case groups were 73.75%, 94.61%, 89.36%, respectively. Each group of patients demonstrated their own characteristics with regard to the BAEP. Conclusion Each of the three brainstem disorders has its own characteristics with BAEP.
