title: [Auditory brain stem responses in children with the delayed speech development].
abstract: The central transmission time in ABR examinations were evaluated in a group of young children with the delayed speech. The age of these children were between 2: 6/12 and 4 years. They spoke only some words, have a good hearing, good intelligence quotient (IQ) in nonverbal tests and have a good speech understanding. Their central transmission times (interwave intervals I-III, III-V, I-V) were longer than in the normal children. This latency elongation may be the sing of the delayed myelinization of the neural tracts, a probable cause also of their delayed speech development.
