A previous study has shown a high incidence of abnormal auditory brainstem responses in alcoholics, particularly when cerebral and/or cerebellar atrophy was present in CT scans. To correlate the electrophysiological findings with definable morphological alterations, quantitative measurements of the brainstem structures in CT scans were made. To determine the relative size of the brainstem, the ...

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 a...
