Abstract
We treated a child with primary brainstem hemorrhage who recovered fairly well. The Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) correlated well with the clinical course and CAT findings. Primary brainstem hemorrhage leads to neurological abnormalities which may be fatal (Silverstein 1972). As there is apparently no documentation on the correlation between CAT scan and ABR findings in such patients, we report our experience with primary brainstem hemorrhage in a child who recovered.
