We sought to define the significance of wave I loss of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) during microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery for hemifacial spasm. Out of 670 patients, 36 showed wave V loss during MVD surgery. These patients were classified into the following two groups based on wave I loss: Total wave loss, including wave I loss, and wave V loss with persistent wave I. We analyzed the differences in postoperative complications between the groups. We also investigated when wave I loss occurred during MVD surgery. Of the 36 patients, 24 (66.7%) exhibited wave I persistence and 12 (33.3%) exhibited total wave loss. The patients who showed total wave loss were significantly more likely to exhibit postoperative hearing loss (p = 0.009). In addition, these patients exhibited a significantly higher frequency of postoperative complications such as dizziness and tinnitus (p = 0.002 and p = 0.031, respectively). Total wave loss occurred more frequently after the decompressive procedure of MVD surgery. Total wave loss, including wave I loss, was more closely associated with severe postoperative complications. Total wave loss occurred more frequently after the decompressive procedure of MVD surgery. These findings suggest the significance of wave I loss of BAEPs.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
