Résumé :

Commercially available auditory steady state response (ASSR) systems are widely used to obtain hearing thresholds in the pediatric population objectively. Children are often examined during natural or induced sleep so that the recorded ASSRs are of subcortical origin, the inferior colliculus being often designated as the main ASSR contributor in these conditions. This report presents data from a battery of auditory neurophysiological objective tests obtained in 3 cases of severe brainstem dysfunction in sleeping children. In addition to ASSRs, envelope-following response (EFR) recordings designed to distinguish peripheral (cochlear nerve) from central (brainstem) were recorded to document the effect of brainstem dysfunction on the two types of phase-locked responses.
