Stressing the auditory system by increasing the stimulation rate showed some enhancement in the identification of MS. 24 (RO%) patients had an abnormal ABR along with clinical signs of brainstem dysfunction at the time of assessment by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while those without such signs had no incidence of abnormalities. This is independent of the clinical classification of the patients. }, URL = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1335-en.html}, eprint = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1335-en.pdf}, journal = {Medical Journal of the Islamic Republic Of Iran}, doi = {}, year = {1995} }
