title: [Brain stem auditory evoked potentials in "alcoholic epilepsy"].
abstract: BAEPs were studied in a group of subjects suffering from 'alcoholic epilepsy.' Results were then compared with data from normal subjects and chronic alcoholics without epilepsy. The latency for peak V and the inter-peak latencies (I-III, III-V, I-V) were significantly longer in the 'alcoholic epilepsy' group than in the control group. This increase of neural transmission time in the brain-stem auditory pathways was less important in the 'chronic alcoholics without epilepsy' group than in the alcoholic epilepsy group.
