The use of auditory brainstem response (ABR) in the diagnosis of retrocochlear tumoral pathology has been established for years, but the development of magnetic resonance imaging for the same purpose calls for a review of the value of this method. We studied 200 ABR records made to exclude pathology. The results indicate that ABR is useful as a screening method in this type of pathology when carried out in a population with any auditory symptom, although it was not very suggestive. In most positive tests, the presence of pathology is not confirmed.
多年来，听觉脑干反应（ABR）在蜗后肿瘤性病变诊断中的应用已得到确立，但出于相同目的的磁共振成像技术的发展促使人们重新审视该方法的价值。我们研究了200份用于排除病变的ABR记录。结果表明，当在有任何听觉症状的人群中进行检测时，ABR作为一种筛查方法对于此类病变是有用的，尽管其提示性不是很强。在大多数阳性检测中，病变的存在并未得到证实。
