title: [Review of the significance of early auditory evoked potentials in diagnosis of neurologic diseases in childhood].
abstract: Seven vertex-positive potentials--the brainstem auditory response--can be recorded from the human scalp within 10 milliseconds of an appropriate acoustic stimulus. As the waves mainly originated in the brainstem, auditory brainstem response has been applied to the judging of brainstem-dysfunction, determining brain death and for evaluation of the development of the brainstem in children.
