Brainstem auditory evoked potentials in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) have been investigated in 34 patients affected by multiple sclerosis. Abnormalities were found in 68% of the patients. Silent lesions of the brainstem were detected in 60% of the clinically definite and in 44% of the probable cases. The diagnostic value of these findings is discussed.
