A comparative study of electrophysiological (ABR) findings of children with autisum spectrum disorder with normal children
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: To describe the electrophysiological (ABR) findings in a group of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder with Normal Children. Method: a group of 15 children with autistic disorder and 15 normal children were included in an investigation of auditory brain stem response ABR Result: the children who were diagnosed with ASD found with significantly delayed or prolonged latencies of ABR wave V and inter peak latencies I-V in ABR as compared to the normal children. Conclusion: Possible causes of the reported ABR abnormalities, observed here as well as in other studies, are discussed. Brain stem lesion, occult cochlear dysfunction, and involvement of the cochlear efferent system are probable factors that can explain the ABR findings. Thus comprehension of the potentially a typical auditory processing in the children with ASD may be key to analysed different causes of Autism.
