The sensitivity of auditory brainstem response testing for the diagnosis of acoustic neuromas.
OBJECTIVES To determine the sensitivity of auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing for detecting acoustic neuromas and to determine whether the test is less sensitive for detecting small tumors. DESIGN Retrospective review of the medical charts of 58 patients with acoustic neuroma who had all of the data necessary for inclusion in the study. SETTING University-affiliated referral practice...
متن کاملAbnormal Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Findings in a Near-Normal Hearing Child with Noonan Syndrome
Introduction: Noonan syndrome (NS) is a heterogeneous genetic disease that affects many parts of the body. It was named after Dr. Jacqueline Anne Noonan, a paediatric cardiologist.Case Report: We report audiological tests and auditory brainstem response (ABR) findings in a 5-year old Malay boy with NS. Despite showing the marked signs of NS, the child could only produce a few meaningful words. ...
متن کاملEffects of Hyperbilirubinemia on Auditory Brainstem Response of Neonates Treated with Phototherapy
Introduction: One of the most common pathologies in neonates is hyperbilirubinemia, which is a good marker for damage to the central nervous system. The sensitivity of the auditory system to bilirubin has been previously documented, with much discrepancy in its effects on Auditory Brainstem Response results. Thus the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hyperbilirubinemia on ...
متن کاملThe importance of the auditory evoked potential in acoustic neuromas.
Hearing loss, frequently with tinnitus, is the main symptom of acoustic neuromas (ANs), which compress the cochlear nerve and affect the cochlear blood supply. This vascular mechanism explains why atypical, fluctuating deafness, with audiometric features of retrocochlear involvement, may occur in this condition. An early diagnosis of ANs is essential for a good prognosis. Physicians should reco...
متن کاملAuditory brainstem response in dolphins.
We recorded the auditory brainstem response (ABR) in four dolphins (Tursiops truncatus and Delphinus delphis). The ABR evoked by clicks consists of seven waves within 10 msec; two waves often contain dual peaks. The main waves can be identified with those of humans and laboratory mammals; in spite of a much longer path, the latencies of the peaks are almost identical to those of the rat. The do...
