title: Auditory potentials of cochlear nerve and brain stem in multiple sclerosis.
abstract: Auditory evoked potentials of the cochlear nerve and the brain stem were recorded in ten patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and four patients thought to possibly have MS. A characteristic pattern materialized, with a prolonged N1-P4 conduction time and absent or small N2 and/or N5 waves. We discuss possible clinical implications.
