98 patients suffering from Multiple classified according to McDonald and Halliday's criteria were tested by means of brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs). Percentages of BAER abnormalities correlated satisfactorily with the extent of clinical involvement, the highest percentage (58,1 %) ocóurring in definite M.S. patients. Evoked response changes were also found in patients without clinical brainstem involvement. Our data suggest a way to monitor the course of the disease and to assess the effects of various treatment protocols.

Abstract
98 patients suffering from Multiple classified according to McDonald and Halliday's criteria were tested by means of brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs). Percentages of BAER abnormalities correlated satisfactorily with the extent of clinical involvement, the highest percentage (58,1 %) ocóurring in definite M.S. patients. Evoked response changes were also found in patients without clinical brainstem involvement. Our data suggest a way to monitor the course of the disease and to assess the effects of various treatment protocols.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
