title: [The diagnostic significance of auditory evoked brain stem potentials in multiple sclerosis].
abstract: 30 patients suffering from multiple sclerosis were examined by BERA among other audiological tests. In 47% we stated significant pathological BERA-latencies, in 53% pathological interpeak-intervals. The most patients have symptoms of brainstem, but 3 cases spinal symptoms. There are no constant correlations to subjective hearing threshold measurements. According to literature BERA, especially the measurement of interpeak-intervals, increases diagnostic security of the diagnosis multiple sclerosis.
