The brainstem auditory evoked potential in infants and children.

The brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) is a neurophysiological study that provides functional information about the auditory system and brainstem. It provides information that is different from any other form of evaluation. This report tries to summarize technical and clinical information that will make the BAEP more meaningful for the practicing technologist and clinician. Attention is focused on the BAEP as it is used in infants and children, starting with a brief review of auditory physiology, then progressing to normative data, clinical utility, physical setup, preparing the patient, comments on technique, and comments on interpretation. This is not an exhaustive review of the topic, and many important elements of clinical utility had to be left out. This review tries to focus on recent references and on practical issues, and it relies on the experience and opinions of the author. Emphasis has been placed on the use of the BAEP by the neurologist, but an attempt has been made to acknowledge the importance of audiology and otolaryngology as well as speech and language science. Particular emphasis has been placed on the use of the BAEP in assessing the premature infant and young infant at risk for neurological and audiological injury. An enormous amount of published data is available in the literature, and much of it had to be left out of this review. However, the reader is encouraged to develop an enthusiasm for the BAEP and to further explore the broad range of its clinical uses.

Preservation of the brainstem auditory evoked potential in non-convulsive status epilepticus.

Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) were recorded from a patient simultaneously experiencing non-convulsive generalized status epilepticus (NGSE). Waves I, III and V were normal but all subsequent waves were absent. This finding indicates that structures within the brainstem adjacent to the generators for the BAEP are likely not affected by NGSE and also illustrates the resilient nature of the BAEP. This is the first report of the recording of an evoked potential during a naturally occurring generalized seizure.     

Basilar migraine: polarity-dependent alteration of brainstem auditory evoked potential

We studied serial brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) in a patient who had episodic basilar migraine. During migraine attack, significant alteration of wave IV-V was revealed only by rarefaction clicks. The alteration remained unchanged throughout the headache and reverted to normal when the headache subsided. In contrast, BAEPs with condensation clicks were normal during and after the headache.     

Electrophysiological monitoring of the brainstem function in impending brain death--serial changes of blink reflex and brainstem auditory evoked potential

Serial changes of EEG, BR and BAEP recordings were obtained over a period of two days on two patients who had suffered massive cerebral hemorrhage while their clinical condition evolved from coma with evidence of preserved cerebral and brainstem functions to a state meeting the criteria of brain death. As clinical evidence of deteriorating brainstem function became apparent in case 1, first wave IV and V components of BAEP disappeared while waves I to III were normal. Finally, when clinical criteria of brain death were fulfilled, the BAEP response was restricted to wave I with small amplitude to stimulation of left ear only. These serial changes were likely consistent with gradual dissolution of brainstem function in a rostrocaudal direction. By contrast, in case 2, the BAEP response was restricted to waves I and II and was stationary in the whole process of impending brain death in no association with some preservation of cerebral and brainstem function. The changes of BAEP was not parallel to the progressive deterioration of EEG and BR. After meeting clinical criteria of brain death, complete abolition of waves II and I was sequential in that order, and then Babinski sign besides withdrawal and deep tendon reflexes may revive in the extremities. Monitoring of serial electrophysiological changes is helpful in the course of impending brain death to determine whether revival of Babinski sign is due to recovery of cerebral-brainstem dysfunction or due to establishment of spinal autonomy.

Contralateral evoked brainstem auditory potentials as an indicator of intraoperative brainstem manipulation in cerebellopontine angle tumors

Abstract

Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) were studied during operations to remove acoustic tumors using the retromastoid approach. BAEP were elicited from the side contralateral to the tumor, and changes in the latencies of peaks III and V of the BAEP were compared with changes in cardiovascular parameters throughout the operation. When the changes in the determined cardiovascular parameters were related to surgical manipulations, the related changes in the latencies of peaks III and V of the BAEP were more consistent than the changes in the cardiovascular parameters and they tended to occur earlier than the changes noted in the cardiovascular parameters.

Somatosensory and brainstem auditory evoked potential studies in nontraumatic coma

We believe that somatosensory and brainstem auditory evoked response studies help in the understanding of the dysfunction of the ascending sensory pathyways at various levels. In some patients where EEGs showed a significant contamination of muscle and background noise, the SEP studies helped to identify the level of dysfunction. The severity of the clinical condition (GCS score) correlated significantly (p = 0.003) with the prolongation of the CCT. Asymmetries in CCTs were more frequent in the stroke group than in the other groups. The presence of asymmetries in CCT in diffuse encephalopathies indicated a variable degree of dysfunction in the ascending sensory pathways, which clinically were not easily identifiable. This fact raised the possibility of either pre-existing lesion(s) or recent insult(s) such as ischemia. The presence or absence of N20 appeared to influence the duration of survival in subgroups. Some degree of difference in duration of survival was noted among the metabolic group with and without N20 potential. The subset of patients with N20 potential survived relatively longer than the group without it. A suggestion of influence was seen in the stroke group, but caution must be exercised because the absence of N20 was compatible with survival. The hypoxic group did not show any difference. A combination of prolonged interpeak EP-N13 and N13-N20 indicated a poor prognosis. A distinct absence of Wave I in BAER limited its usefulness on some occasions. A combination of abnormal interpeak III-V and abnormal CCT seemed to suggest a poor prognosis. Although death generally occurred earlier in the stroke group, age did not seem to influence the mortality in the first 10 days. Similarly, the cause of death also did not seem to influence the course in those 10 days. None of the adult patients survived.

Effect of stimulus intensity variation on brainstem auditory evoked potentials. Maturational changes

The effect of stimulus intensity variation on brainstem auditory evoked potentials in premature and full-term neonates has been studied in two experiments. They show that the effects are different according to age and to waves. The variation of latencies is greater the younger the child and it is clearer with wave I than waves III and V. The findings are discussed in terms of the maturation of the basal part of the cochlea.

Biliverdin-induced brainstem auditory evoked potential abnormalities in the jaundiced Gunn rat

Brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) abnormalities occur in jaundiced Gunn rats given sulfadimethoxine to displace bilirubin bound to serum albumin, releasing it into the tissues. One problem with the model is that after displacement, plasma bilirubin levels drop and do not correlate with neurological dysfunction. In this report, we administered biliverdin, the immediate precursor of bilirubin, in 15- to 17-day-old Gunn rat pups to create an improved model of bilirubin-induced neurological dysfunction. Total plasma bilirubin (TB) levels were measured with a Leica bilirubinometer. Biliverdin (40 mg/kg) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was administered either once and BAEPs recorded 8 h later or twice, 12 h apart, and BAEPs recorded 24 h after the initial injection. A single biliverdin injection produced a significantly decreased amplitude of BAEP wave III, 1.21+/-0.25 vs. 0.49+/-0.27 microV (control vs. biliverdin). The two-injection paradigm resulted in a significantly elevated TB (9.9+/-1.2 vs. 14.9+/-3.1 mg/dl; control vs. biliverdin), significant increases in I-II (1.15+/-0.08 vs. 1.42+/-0.09 ms) and I-III (2.17+/-0.08 vs. 2.5+/-0.13 ms) interwave intervals and a decrease in the amplitude of wave III (1.36+/-0.30 vs. 0.38+/-0.26 microV). Additionally, there were significant correlations between TB and the amplitude of wave III (r2=0.74) and TB and the I-III interwave interval (r2=0.51). In summary, biliverdin administration in jaundiced Gunn rat pups produces BAEP abnormalities consistent with those observed in the sulfadimethoxine model and human newborn hyperbilirubinemia and resulted in increased plasma bilirubin levels that correlate with the degree of neurological dysfunction.     

Developmental changes in refractoriness of the cortical auditory evoked potential.

OBJECTIVE: This study examined morphological changes in the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) waveform as a function of varying stimulation rate. Stimuli were presented in a paradigm which indirectly assesses the refractory properties of the underlying neuronal generators. METHODS: CAEPs were recorded in 50 normal-hearing children (3-12 years) and 10 young adults (24-26 years). A speech sound was presented in a stimulus train with sequentially decreasing inter-stimulus intervals (ISIs) of 2000, 1000, 560, and 360ms. Latencies and amplitudes of the P1, N1, and P2 components at the Cz electrode were examined as a function of stimulus rate and age. RESULTS: Results revealed significant changes in the CAEP as a function of age and stimulation rate. At younger ages the N1-P2 component was elicited only at the slowest stimulation rates, and was more clearly apparent at successively faster stimulation rates as age increased. CONCLUSIONS: We have described a stimulus paradigm that allows examination of the development of refractoriness by highlighting the interaction between age and rate on CAEP morphology. SIGNIFICANCE: Complex maturational patterns of CAEP components are best understood when the effects of both age and stimulus rate on the CAEP waveform are considered.
