Abstract
This article reports on a study of brain stem auditory evoked responses in twenty one patients with acoustic neuromas. Systemic analysis of ipsilateral and contralateral responses to auditory stimulation of the unaffected ear revealed abnormalities of peak and interpeak latencies as compared with a normal population. Latency changes were correlated with tumor size and reflected the extent of brain stem compression by the tumor. These findings indicate the importance of evaluating latency changes in brain stem auditory evoked responses from the unaffected ear in patients with acoustic neuromas.
