Brainstem auditory evoked potentials in patients with cerebellopontine angle tumors. 1983

M B Møller, and A R Møller

Changes in the brainstem auditory evoked potentials of 27 patients with cerebellopontine angle tumors were analyzed. It was found that the most characteristic change was an increase in the latency of wave III on the affected side. In patients with tumors large enough to cause displacement of the brainstem, there was in addition an increase in the latency of wave III on the unaffected side. These results are consistent with recent observations regarding the neural generators of the brain stem auditory evoked potentials in humans.

D002528 Cerebellar Neoplasms Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs.
