ABSTRACT
Nonfatal penetrating injuries to the brainstem offer a unique opportunity to assess subcortical auditory pathway function. A case study of a patient suffering a severe nailgun accident is presented. Hearing sensitivity and acoustic reflexes were normal bilaterally, but word recognition was reduced for one ear. Auditory brainstem response results indicated waves I-IV were present bilaterally, but wave V was absent bilaterally. Results of vestibular findings indicated central pathology also. Results of audiologic, vestibular, radiologic, neurologic, and physical medicine examinations are discussed.
