Abstract
Six cases of brain-stem hematoma were studied utilizing CT [computed tomography] scan and brain-stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) recordings. CT scan did not contribute to an early discrimination between primary and secondary hematomas. Size of the hematoma and the presence of blood in the CSF did not represent evident signs in differentiating benign from unfavorable brain-stem hematomas or hemorrhages. BAEP recordings showed the presence of electrophysiological anomalies at the level of the lesion, demonstrating that bleeding as well as tumor in the brain-stem can provoke a focal damage.Keywords
