[The inverted ipsilateral reflex: is it an artefact?].
We have studied the characteristics of the inverted reflex obtained by ipsilateral stimulation in nineteen patients. Six of them were affected by perceptual hypoacusis, eleven of those patients had an otosclerosis and two a facial paralysis. The conclusion about our investigation is that in all the cases, it was produced by an artefact and it was not a response from the muscles of the middle ear.
