دانلود کتاب ABR ها و ABR های الکتریکی برانگیخته در کودکان

This book is a compendium of our basic and clinical research studies of the ABR and EABR over a 40-year time span and provides up-to-date information of the his­tory, recording techniques, and the neurological substrate underlying these responses. On the diagnostic side, we present the manifestation of changes in these responses in patients with peripheral hearing loss, brainstem and cortical lesions, auditory neuropathy (AN), and inner ear malformations.

In the last 25 years, hearing screening of newborns by ABR has been adopted by many countries worldwide. Because of an increase in a combination of findings, including the ABR, the syndrome of AN, as first reported by Kaga K, et al. and Starr A, et al. in 1996, has gained the attention of many clinicians. Also, cochlear implants for young infants with congenital deafness are performed worldwide. EABRs have become a very valuable tool both in determining the integrity of the implant and in evaluating cochlear nerve function. We herein discuss a few difficult cases of infants with complicated inner ear malformations and/or cochlear nerve deficiencies to illustrate the effectiveness of ABRs and EABRs as a diagnostic imperative.
