Abstract：Objective To study correlation between high stimulus rate auditory brainstem responses and benign paroxysmal vertigo (BPV) in children. Methods Included in the study were 60 children with BPV and 20 normal children. The children with BPV were divided into two subgroups depending on whether there were attacks in past two weeks. Pure tone audiometry, acoustic immitance and high stimulus rate auditory brainstem response test were conducted in all groups, and the differences were analyzed. Results 1) Pure tone audiometry and acoustic immitance were normal in both BPV and normal control group. 2) The rate of abnor-mal high stimulus rate ABRs was 41.7 % (25/60) in BPV groups and 0% in the control group (p<0.01). 3) The rate of abnormal high stimulus rate ABRs was 63.6 % (21/33) in those with vertigo attacks in past 2 weeks and 14.8%(4/27) in those without vertigo attacks in past 2 weeks (p<0.01). Conclusions High stimu-lus rate ABR results appear to be correlated with BPV attacks in Children.
