Auditory potentials of cochlear nerve and brain stem in multiple sclerosis.
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.
