[Variability of V waves of auditory evoked potentials in patients with supratentorial transverse displacement of the brain caused by intracranial hematoma].

The authors present a comparative analysis of the characteristics of the V wave of the brain stem auditory evoked potentials in relation to the degree of transverse shifting of the third ventricle. The investigations were carried out in 48 patients with non-traumatic intracerebral haematoma. A high correlation was found between the size of the amplitude and ventricle shift. No such correlation was observed with the interpeak time of the I--V waves.
