“…Bender et al (1969) were among the first to report the delay observable in the early response of the blink reflex of four patients with acoustic neurinoma, later confirmed by surgery. Lyon and Van Allen (1972), reporting a further five cases of neurinoma of the eighth cranial nerve, confirmed Bender's data. In the electrodiagnostic study of 11 patients with cerebellopontine angle tumours reported by Eisen and Danon (1974), all had an increased RI latency of the affected side (in five it was absent) and in eight cases, after stimulation of the affected side, an increased consensual R2 latency.…”

“…Positive results for this test were reported by Lyon and Van Allen (1972) even in patients with few symptoms. Clay and Ramseyer (1977) believe that in the functional study of the brainstem the registration of blink reflexes gives information which other tests do not provide.…”
