Electroencephalogram and brainstem auditory evoked potential in 539 patients with central coordination disorder

BACKGROUND： Electroencephalogram （EEG） and brainstem auditory evoked potential （BAEP） are objective non-invasive means of measuring brain electrophysiology. OBJECTIVE： To analyze the value of EEG and BAEP in early diagnosis, treatment and prognostic evaluation of central coordination disorder. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： This case analysis study was performed at the Rehabilitation Center of Hunan Children＇s Hospital from January 2002 to January 2006. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 593 patients with severe central coordination disorder, comprising 455 boys and 138 girls, aged 1-6 months were enrolled for this study. METHODS： EEG was monitored using electroencephalography. BAEP was recorded using a Keypoint electromyogram device. Intelligence was tested by professionals using the Gesell scale. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： （1） The rate of abnormal EEG and BAEP, （2） correlation of abnormalities of EEG and BAEP with associated injuries, （3） correlation of abnormalities of EEG and BAEP with high risk factors. RESULTS： The rate of abnormal EEG was 68.6% （407/593 patients）, and was increased in patients who also had mental retardation （P 〈 0.05）. The rate of abnormal BAEP was 21.4% （127/593 patients）. These 127 patients included 67 patients （52.8%） with peripheral auditory damage and 60 patients （47.2%） with central and mixed auditory damage. The rate of abnormal BAEP was significantly increased in patients who also had mental retardation （P 〈 0.01 ）. Logistic regression analysis showed that asphyxia （P 〈 0.05）, jaundice, preterm delivery, low birth weight and the umbilical cord around the neck were closely correlated with abnormal EEG in patients with central coordination disorder, lntracranial hemorrhage, jaundice （P 〈 0.05）, low birth weight and intrauterine infection （P 〈 0.05） were closely correlated with abnormal BAEP in patients with central coordination disorder. CONCLUSION： Central coordination disorder is often associated with abnormal EEG an

Visual and brain stem auditory evoked responses in Wilson''s disease

Sensory evoked potentials were studied in 15 patients with Wilson's disease. Thirteen patients were investigated with pattern reversal visual stimulation. A prolonged P 100 latency of the VEP was present in 7 patients. Brain stem auditory responses were evoked in 12 patients. Prolongation of III-V and I-V interpeak latency was found in 8 patients. The evoked potential studies demonstrated subclinical disturbances in optic and caudal brainstem auditory pathways. Further studies are in progress to evaluate the role of these techniques in monitoring the therapy of newly diagnosed cases.     

Multimodality evoked potentials in progression of metachromatic leukodystrophy

A 2-yr-3-mo-old girl with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) was examined using serial multiple electrophysiological procedures. Sensory nerve conduction velocity was delayed earlier and more severely than motor nerve conduction velocity. Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) showed prolonged latency of wave IV. Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) showed prolonged latency of waves I and V, and the I-V interval. As to the interpeak latency of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs), the P9-P14 and the P14-N20 intervals were prolonged on admission. Two months later, both intervals were more prolonged, but the prolongation of the P9-P14 interval was the most prominent. The demyelination in our case may have started in the cerebral white matter, progressed to the peripheral nerves, and at last via the spinal root reached the brainstem. An electrophysiological follow-up study may be valuable in the understanding of the progressive pathological changes and in the evaluation of therapeutic measures.     

Visual and auditory evoked potentials in the early diagnosis and follow-up of neurosarcoidosis

Visual and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (VEPs, BAEPs) were recorded in 23 patients with neurosarcoidosis. Eight patients (35%) had abnormal BAEPs, and 10 (43%) had abnormal VEPs. Four of the 8 patients with abnormal BAEPs had facial paresis, one had impaired memory and only 3 had symptoms and signs compatible with brainstem lesion. Seven of the patients with abnormal VEPs had no visual symptoms. These findings suggest that BAEP and VEP can reveal subclinical nervous system involvement in sarcoidosis and can also help in the early diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis. Successive recordings of 5 patients showed that BAEP and VEP were useful in the follow-up of these patients.

A study of clinical, MRI and multimodality evoked potentials in neurologic Wilson disease

The aims of this study were evaluate motor, somatosensory, visual and auditory brainstem evoked potential (MEP, SEP, VEP, ABER) changes in Wilson disease (WD) and correlate these with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical findings.
Neurologic WD diagnosed on the basis of clinical, ceruloplasmin and Kayser–Fleischer ring were evaluated including pedigree charting, hepatic, renal, hematologic and osteoarticular manifestations. Blood counts, serum chemistry, MRI, MEP to tibialis anterior, tibial SEP, VEP and ABER were performed. Evoked potential (EP) changes were correlated with clinical and MRI findings.
Eighteen WD patients were recruited from 17 families whose mean age was 16 years. Movement disorders were present in 14, cognitive decline in 12 and pyramidal signs in 12 patients. MRI revealed involvement of basal ganglia in 80%, thalamus in 40%, brain stem in 46.7% and subcortical white matter in 53.3%. MEP was abnormal in 35.7%, SEP in 30.8%, VEP in 57% and ABER in 61.5% patients; the latter three EP changes were subclinical. Frequency and number of EP abnormalities were higher with increasing severity of illness.
SEP, VEP and ABER reveals subclinical abnormality and MEP helps in documenting both clinical and subclinical abnormalities. Number of EP abnormalities increases with increasing clinical severity of WD.     

Pentobarbital-induced changes in the mouse brainstem auditory evoked potential as a function of click repetition rate and time postdrug

The effects of pentobarbital (80 mg/kg, i.p.) and saline injections on the BAEP were studied in 10 adult female BDF1 mice. Pentobarbital anesthesia induced statistically significant increases in the amplitudes and latencies of various BAEP components relative to preinjection and saline control values. These pentobarbital-induced changes were maximal shortly after drug administration and dissipated over time in a pattern similar to a drug elimination curve. Since pentobarbital and fast stimulus repetition rates are considered to be 'synaptic stressors', it was predicted that pentobarbital anesthesia and click repetition rate would have combined effects on the BAEP. This prediction was partially supported in that pentobarbital-induced changes in P4 amplitude and latency were significantly dependent on click repetition rate. The pentobarbital-induced effects on earlier BAEP components, however, proved to be largely independent of click rate. Pentobarbital-associated changes in the BAEP were not due to such factors as core temperature changes, circadian variations, and stress. The importance of anesthetic-induced changes in the BAEP for clinical and experimental studies is discussed.

Comparison of MRI and electrophysiological studies for detecting brainstem lesions in traumatic brain injury

The yield of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrophysiological studies in detecting brainstem lesions was assessed in 35 patients suffering from traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale, 3-10). As an inclusion criterion, all patients had brainstem trauma as revealed by early MRI or electrophysiological studies. Of the 35 cases, 7 (20%) had brainstem lesions detected by MRI only, whereas in 10 patients (29%), electrophysiological examination disclosed impairment of brainstem function with normal MRI. In 18 (51%) subjects, both diagnostic techniques revealed brainstem lesions. The midbrain was the most common location of lesions. Masseter reflex recording had the highest yield (93%) of abnormal findings. No mismatch with respect to site and side of abnormality occurred between MRI and electrophysiological studies. Outcome analysis indicated an unfavorable course for the vast majority (83%) of patients, regardless of the diagnostic means disclosing traumatic brainstem injury. Therefore, both techniques are effective in disclosing traumatic brainstem injury, with diagnostic overlap in about 50% of cases. In contrast to MRI, electrophysiological investigation is easily performed and repeated at low cost in the setting of an intensive care unit, where such patients are typically hospitalized after trauma. In addition to electrophysiological assessment of brainstem function, MRI is recommended in each case having normal electrophysiological findings when brainstem injury is suspected.     

Abnormalities in evoked potentials associated with abnormal glycemia and brain injury in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

ObjectiveTo investigate how functional integrity of ascending sensory pathways measured by visual and somatosensory evoked potentials (VEP & SEP) is associated with abnormal glycemia and brain injury in newborns treated with hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).MethodsFifty-four neonates ≥ 36 weeks gestational age with HIE underwent glucose testing, VEPs, SEPs, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the first week of life. Minimum and maximum glucose values recorded prior to evoked potential (EP) testing were compared with VEP and SEP measures using generalized estimating equations. Relationships between VEP and SEP measures and brain injury on MRI were assessed.ResultsMaximum glucose is associated with decreased P200 amplitude, and increased odds that N300 peak will be delayed/absent. Minimum glucose is associated with decreased P22 amplitude. Presence of P200 and N300 peaks is associated with decreased odds of brain injury in the visual processing pathway, with delayed/absent N300 peak associated with increased odds of brain injury in posterior white matter.ConclusionsDeviations from normoglycemia are associated with abnormal EPs, and abnormal VEPs are associated with brain injury on MRI in cooled neonates with HIE.SignificanceGlucose is a modifiable risk factor associated with atypical brain function in neonates with HIE despite hypothermia treatment.     

Specific impairment of BAER's in Friedreich's ataxia. Auditory evoked responses in clinical evaluation and differential diagnosis

We have investigated brainstem and cortical auditory responses (BAERs and CAERs) in 16 cases of Friedreich's ataxia (FA) and have compared the findings with those obtained in 2 cases of familial spastic paraplegia (FSP), in 5 cases of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTD), and in 6 cases of atypical FA of uncertain classification. BAERs could not be elicited in 11 FA patients and constantly disappeared at a higher intensity threshold than in normal subjects in the remaining 5 patients. BAERs were normal or only slightly abnormal in FSP and CMTD patients. CAERs were normal in all 29 patients. BAERs tended to disappear with the progression of FA and BAER thresholds were correlated with the Inherited Ataxias Clinical Rating Scale score, which is an index of the severity of illness. BAERs contributed to the diagnosis, or exclusion of FA in patients with an atypical picture. It is suggested that in FA myelinated fibers in the spiral ganglion are partially affected, resulting in the decrease of wave amplitude such as occurs for peripheral sensory potentials.

Pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials in rabbits are resistant to occlusion of the carotid artery

Contrast (pattern-reversal) visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were examined in the awake rabbit to test the possibility that carotid occlusion would disrupt sensory transmission in the visual pathways. Rabbits were operated to ligate one carotid and to chronically transplant another one into a skin flap. VEPs to checkerboard stimuli reversing with a rate of 2/s were recorded from the visual cortex. No significant changes in latency, amplitude and waveshape of VEPs were noted after 3-30 min of carotid occlusion. Apparently, blood flow from the basilar system can be easily shunted via the circle of Willis to the territory of the internal carotid.
