Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) are electrical potentials recorded in response to an auditory stimulus. Wavelet transform is adopted to extract the characteristic features of BAEP for interpretation and assessment. The results shows that there is significant difference (p<0.05) in the wavelet coefficients features in normal and abnormal BAEPs. Keywords— Brainstem Auditory Evoked pot...

purpose: to determine the clinical and paraclinical features of multiple sclerosis (ms) in patients presenting for the first time with optic neuritis. methods:  in this descriptive study, 35 patients with clinical evidence of optic neuritis were enrolled. our evaluation included a neurological examination, visual evoked potentials (vep), brainstem-auditory evoked potentials (baep), and brain mr...

BACKGROUND/AIM Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the development of mental, motor, cognitive, and social functions via its role in DNA synthesis and nerve myelination. Its deficiency in infants might cause neuromotor retardation as well as megaloblastic anemia. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of infantile vitamin B12 deficiency on evoked brain potentials and dete...

BACKGROUND Evoked potentials are used to detect conduction disturbances in the central nervous system. This paper provides an overview of the areas in which evoked potentials are used in clinical neurophysiological diagnostics, with the emphasis on coma and demyelinating disease. METHOD The article is based on a literature search in PubMed and the authors' long experience of neurological and ...

Removal of a vestibular schwannoma may result in ipsilateral hearing loss and facial palsy. So intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is an important method for detecting potentially preventing paralysis. Contralateral after removal rare complications. The detection acute contralateral has not been reported intraoperatively the pathomechanism unclear. Our case was 52-year-old female with ...

Our objective was to explore the best predictive timing of short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SLSEP) and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) for unfavorable outcomes in patients with early stage severe stroke. One hundred fifty-six patients with acute severe supratentorial stroke were monitored according to SLSEP, BAEP, and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at 1-3 days and 4-7 da...

Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) were monitored during 545 neurosurgical operations in the cerebellopontine angle. The BAEP were irreversibly obliterated in five patients who required deliberate section of the auditory nerve. Technical difficulties interfered with monitoring in three cases, and three patients had deafness and absent BAEP preoperatively. Reversible alterations in BAE...

Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) were recorded during surgery as a monitor of brainstem function in three patients undergoing posterior fossa surgery for clipping of basilar aneurysms. In two patients, ligation of the basilar artery, and of a vertebral artery, was associated with deterioration in BAEP and resulted in postoperative brainstem dysfunction. In the third patient, postoper...

Back ground: Caffeine a white crystalline xanthine alkaloid is the most widely used psychoactive stimulant in the world. Inspite of being used as a substance of abuse, it is widely used as a CNS and metabolic stimulant for its short term and long term pharmacological action. A number of studies with dramatic results have proved that caffeine is a stimulant. Review of literature: Effects of caff...
