title: [The prognostic value of AEP and SEP values in subarachnoid hemorrhage. An analysis of 64 patients].
abstract: In 64 patients with confirmed subarachnoid haemorrhage the clinical grading according to Hunt and Hess was compared to the initial findings of BAEP und SEP to elicit possible prognostic statements. Clinical and electrodiagnostic findings showed a high correlation. Patients without or with only slight alterations of amplitude and/or latency generally showed a favourable course. Recurrent haemorrhages or internal complications which can be decisive for outcome cannot be predicted by clinical or electrodiagnostic findings. The alterations of BAEP and SEP increase parallel to severity of clinical findings. Bilateral loss of BAEP or SEP indicates poor prognosis. Prognostic statements can be made with certainty only in cases with primary poor clinical condition (Hunt-Hess Grade IV-V) and marked alterations of evoked potentials.
