Previous electrophysiologic studies in the sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) have used only a single modality (brainstem auditory evoked responses [BAERs]) and yielded conflicting, inconsistent, and inconclusive results. We utilized both BAERs and somatosensory evoked responses in 12 patients with SAS and found normal central conduction times in all patients. These data argue against a significant structural alteration in both rostral and caudal brainstem, insofar as the auditory and somatosensory pathways are concerned, in patients with SAS.
先前针对睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（SAS）的电生理研究仅采用了单一模式（脑干听觉诱发电位[BAERs]），并得出了相互矛盾、不一致且无定论的结果。我们对12例SAS患者同时运用了BAERs和体感诱发电位，发现所有患者的中枢传导时间均正常。就听觉和体感通路而言，这些数据表明SAS患者的脑干头端和尾端不存在显著的结构改变。
