Fifteen infants with hydrocephalus ranging in age from 32 to 43 weeks from conception were studied. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) was measured 48 h prior to the placement of a CSF shunt and within 5 days following shunt insertion. Results of this study showed a general improvement in the ABR following placement of the shunt. No consistent patterns were observed that allowed a clear explanation of the cause and effect of the abnormal ABR. However, the changes seen in the ABR are caused by increased CSF pressure, which may compress the transmission fibers, and generators of the ABR producing a type of neuropraxis. Early shunting appears to have a better outcome on the ABR than later shunting.
对15名孕龄在32至43周之间的脑积水婴儿进行了研究。在脑脊液分流管置入前48小时和置入后5天内测量了听觉脑干反应（ABR）。本研究结果显示，分流管置入后ABR总体有所改善。未观察到能清晰解释ABR异常因果关系的一致模式。然而，ABR的变化是由脑脊液压力升高引起的，脑脊液压力升高可能会压迫传导纤维以及ABR的发生器，从而产生一种神经失用症。早期分流似乎比晚期分流对ABR的效果更好。
