Brainstem tumor was suspected in an 11-year-old boy presenting with a painless lateral rectus palsy, on the basis of abnormal brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP), despite normal computed tomographic studies, the diagnosis being confirmed by biopsy. The BAEP improved after radiation therapy, but their later deterioration heralded the onset of recurrence two weeks before any adverse clinical symptoms appeared. The value of BAEP studies in the early detection of brainstem lesions and in monitoring their progress, is discussed.
一名11岁男孩因无痛性外直肌麻痹就诊，尽管计算机断层扫描结果正常，但基于异常的脑干听觉诱发电位（BAEP）怀疑患有脑干肿瘤，活检证实了诊断。放射治疗后BAEP有所改善，但随后其恶化预示着复发的开始，比任何不良临床症状出现早两周。本文讨论了BAEP检查在脑干病变早期检测及其进展监测中的价值。
