Serial Observations of Brain Stem Function in Acute Intracranial Hypertension by Auditory Brain Stem Responses — A Clinical Study

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure V

Abstract

Recently, multimodality evoked potentials have been used for the evaluation of brain function in patients with severe head injury and acute intracranial hypertension. We have studied the changes in brain stem function in patients with acute intracranial hypertension without any pressure difference between the supra- and infratentorial space and with central and uncal herniation, by measuring the auditory brain stem responses (BERs) that reflect the functional and structural integrity of the brain stem auditory pathway.
