title: Brainstem auditory evoked potentials in transtentorial herniation.
abstract: Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAER's) were recorded in patients exhibiting brainstem compression from supratentorial lesions. BAER's were altered in the early stages of herniation. In two cases the latencies returned to normal on treatment with steroids.
