title: Measurements of brain-stem auditory evoked potentials in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
abstract: Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP's) were recorded in 19 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. More than half of the patients were deeply comatose. There was no correlation between BAEP changes and different types of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage or between BAEP's and coma grading by the Glasgow Coma Scale. However, BAEP's were a significant prognostic aid in these cases and useful in indicating the level of the brain-stem lesion.
