Abstract: Introduction: Congenital toxoplasmosis is an infectious disease with high prevalence in tropical countries. It is characterized by neurological, ophthalmological and auditory sequelae.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and describe the brainstem auditory evoked potential in infants aged 1---3 months diagnosed with congenital toxoplasmosis and to compare them with infants of the same age group without the infection.Methods: This is an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study in which brainstem auditory evoked potential was investigated in infants with congenital toxoplasmosis. The following audiological exams were performed: transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions, clinical and automatic brainstem auditory evoked potential.
