ABSTRACT

A male newborn infant with a deletion of the short arm of chromosome lOp 14 was described. In addition to the typical clinical features, electrophysiologic studies showed brainstem dysfunction and severe hearing loss when examined with auditory brainstem response and photopalpebral reflex. These electrophysiologic studies may be of benefit for early evaluation of brainstem functions and hearing ability of the patients of such chromosomal aberration and may also be useful predictors of psychomotor development.
