Brainstem auditory evoked potentials at high stimulation rates and posterior circulation ischemia / 中风与神经疾病杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Posterior circulation ischemia is an ischemic cerebrovascular disease frequently seen in clinical practice，which includes transient ischemic attack and cerebral infarction of the posterior circulation. The clinical manifestations of patients with posterior circulation infarction are complex and varied，and diagnosis is mainly based on clinical manifestations and imaging. Transient ischemic attacks in the posterior circulation have neither obvious positive signs nor typical imaging manifestations during the interictal period，making the diagnosis difficult. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials reflect the electrophysiological functioning of the auditory nerves and brainstem auditory conduction pathway. The use of brainstem auditory evoked potentials，especially brainstem auditory evoked potentials at high stimulation rates，in diagnosing posterior circulation ischemia expands and enriches diagnostic methods，which is of great significance for the early diagnosis of the disease. However，there are still many problems worth considering.
