Abstract

Auditory brainstem responses were obtained from 52 alcoholic patients with or without neurological complications of alcoholism. Almost half of the patients had abnormal auditory brainstem responses manifested by a prolonged central conduction time (Wave I to V interval) without significant alterations in morphology. The incidence of abnormal auditory responses was related to the type and the number of neurological complications. Patients with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, dementia or cerebellar degeneration had high incidence of brainstem abnormalities. All patients with 3 or more neurological complications had abnormal auditory brainstem responses.
