BRAINSTEM AUDITORY EVOKED POTENTIALS AND VISUAL POTENTIALS IN KAWASAKI DISEASE: EXPRESSION OF CNS VASCULITIS?
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited vasculitis of infants and children that is nowadays the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children. Transient sensorineural hearing loss (20 to 35 dB) is a possible complication of acute phase KD and may be related to salicylate toxicity in some patients.

SAT0513 Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials and Visual Potentials in Kawasaki Disease: Expression of CNS Vasculitis?
Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited vasculitis of infants and children that is nowadays the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children. Transient sensorineural hearing loss (20 to 35 dB) is a possible complication of acute phase KD and may be related to salicylate toxicity in some patients. Objectives Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEPs) , and Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs) were examined in 43 children (age: 0,8-7,5 years) affected by KD. No risk factors for hearing loss and/or neurological impairment of CNS were identified in all the patients. BAEPs showed altered waves II to V, in 18 patients (42%). Among these, in 4 patients (20%) VEPs showed …
