Brainstem evoked response audiometry in confirmed eighth nerve tumors.
Brainstem evoked response audiometry has been described as an effective predictor of eighth nerve disease. This study reports audiologic findings in 52 cases of surgically confirmed eighth nerve and cerebellopontine angle tumors. The results of brainstem audiometry were consistent with an eighth nerve lesion in 51 cases. Its use in site of lesion tests is highly recommended.
