AI Article Synopsis
- The study utilized oscilloscopic and graphic methods to analyze the stapedius muscle reflex and its changes in latency, threshold, and shape due to brain-stem impairments.
- Numerous subjects with various conditions—including nucleo-reticular vestibular syndrome, vascular issues, and tumors—were examined alongside normal individuals and those temporarily impaired by barbiturates.
- The researchers highlighted that the alterations in the shape of the reflex are particularly significant for diagnosing brain-stem conditions.
Article Abstract
An oscilloscopic plus a graphic method of recording of the stapedius muscle reflex has revealed peculiar modifications in the latency, threshold, and shape of development of the reflex in cases of brain-stem impairment. Many subjects have been examined who were affected by nucleo-reticular vestibular syndrome, vascular insufficiency, disseminated sclerosis, tumours, etc. and a comparison has also been made in normal subjects and in the same subjects during a temporary impairment of the brain-stem structures following barbiturate administration. The greatest semeiological value is attributed to the modifications in the shape of the reflex.

Studies have reported a varied correlation strength between the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) and electrically evoked stapedial reflex thresholds (ESRT) in cochlear implant recipients. However, there is a lack of information on the relationship between the two measures in paediatric cochlear implant users. This study was aimed to compare the ESRT and ECAP measures and determine where ECAP thresholds fall within the dynamic range of ESRT-based Maps in paediatric cochlear implant users.

Introduction: The electrically evoked stapedius reflex threshold (eSRT) is an objective measure that helps to fit cochlear implants (CIs). The primary aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between different burst durations to elicit eSRT in pediatric CI users.
Materials And Methods: Different stimuli burst durations (100-500 ms) were applied to observe the effect in the reflex determination in 11 pediatric CI users.

The stapedius muscle is a very small skeletal muscle that connects the pyramidal eminence to the stapes through the stapedial tendon. It is very rare that stapedius muscle and tendon are congenitally absent; however, this has been reported previously in the literature and the current report. Our patient was a middle-aged male who presented with hearing loss.
