Papaverine is a vasodilator agent that exerts a spasmolytic effect on smooth muscles, including cerebral blood vessels. We are not aware of reported cases of adverse effects of papaverine on evoked potentials. Two patients undergoing surgery for microvascular decompression to relieve hemifacial spasm exhibited transient changes on their brainstem auditory evoked potentials following the topical application of papaverine. Waves III and V could no longer be resolved after the application, while waves I and II persisted. Postoperatively, the BAEPs were present and the patients suffered no long term clinical sequelae related to the transient BAEP changes.
