Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (MN-SEP) were measured in 53 diabetic patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 12 patients with abnormal BAEP and/or MN-SEP to determine the existence of lesions in the central nervous system. Twenty-six percent of the diabetic patients had abnormal BAEP and three had a prolongation of the central conduction time in the MN-SEP. MRI findings of ten of the 12 patients with abnormal BAEP or MN-SEP showed multiple small lesions in the pons, thalamus, and centrum semiovale. Two of them showed small lesions in the pontine basis which were associated with prolonged interpeak latencies of BAEP. Our MRI study suggests that abnormal brainstem evoked potentials in diabetic patients are induced by diabetic angiopathy.
