title: [Diagnostic value of neuropsychiatric, audiological and electrophysiological examinations of alcohol-dependent patients].
abstract: Neuropsychiatric, audiological and electrophysiological examinations performed on 52 patients under neuropsychiatric therapy after long-term alcohol dependence, gave evidence of polytopical impairment of the peripheral and central nervous systems as well as inner ear. The results show that in order to ascertain impairments, a comprehensive diagnostic program is to be applied with special focus on electroneurographic examinations of peripheral nerves. According to the present findings, the latter are also recommended as a screening method, in particular scrutinizing the N. fibularis while also determining the threshold audiograms.
