ABSTRACT

Abstract Auditory deprivation associated with early otitis media with effusion has been considered a risk factor for central auditory processing (CAP), as well as for the development of a number of cognitive functions. Objective: To study the neuropsychological functions of attention, working memory and executive function in adolescents with and without non-cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media (NCCOM) and analyze their interrelationships with the behavioral evaluation of CAP. Methods: Sixty-eight adolescents were recruited, 34 were diagnosed with NCCOM (study group - SG), and 34 had no otological history (control group - CG). The Neupsilin Brief Neuropsychological Assessment Instrument was used. CAP was assessed by: Masking Level Difference, Synthetic Sentence Identification, Random Gap Detection Test, Duration Pattern Sequence Test and Dichotic Digits Test. Results: The results of Neupsilin showed lower scores in the study group when compared to the control group on the following tests: digit sequence repetition, ascending digit ordering, auditory sentence span, and phonemic verbal fluency. An association was found between central auditory processing tests and Neupsilin subtests. Conclusion: The effects of NCCOM on attention, memory and executive function related to central auditory processing disorder in adolescents seem to be enhanced by the severity of the disease.


Resumo A privação auditiva associada à otite média precoce com efusão tem sido considerada um fator de risco para o processamento auditivo central (CAP), bem como para o desenvolvimento de diversas funções cognitivas. Objetivo: Estudar as funções neuropsicológicas da atenção, memória de trabalho e função executiva em adolescentes com e sem otite média crônica não-colesteatomatosa (NCCOM) e analisar suas inter-relações com a avaliação comportamental da PAC. Métodos: Sessenta e oito adolescentes foram recrutados, 34 foram diagnosticados com NCCOM (grupo de estudo - GE) e 34 não tinham história otológica (grupo controle - GC). Utilizou-se o Instrumento de Avaliação Neuropsicológica Breve de Neupsilin. O CAP foi avaliado por: Diferença de Nível de Mascaramento, Identificação de Frase Sintética, Teste de Detecção de Intervalo Aleatório, Teste de Sequência de Padrão de Duração e Teste de Dígitos Dicóticos. Resultados: Os resultados de Neupsilin mostraram menores escores no grupo de estudo quando comparados ao grupo controle nos seguintes testes: repetição de sequência de dígitos, ordenação de dígitos ascendentes, extensão de sentenças auditivas e fluência verbal fonêmica. Foi encontrada uma associação entre os testes do processamento auditivo central e os subtestes de Neupsilin. Conclusão: Os efeitos do NCCOM na atenção, memória e função executiva relacionados ao transtorno do processamento auditivo central em adolescentes parecem ser potencializados pela gravidade da doença.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: The association between hearing and balance disorders with migraine is known since the times of the ancient Greeks, when Aretaeus from Cappadocia in 131 B.C, made an accurate and detailed description of this occurrence during a migraine episode. We present a broad review of migraine neurotological manifestations, using the most recent publications associated with epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic methods and treatment for this syndrome. AIM: To describe the clinical entity: "Migraine associated with auditory-vestibular dysfunction" in order to help otorhinolaryngologists and neurologists in the diagnosis and management of such disorder. FINAL REMARKS: There is a strong association between neurotological symptoms and migraine, and the auditory-vestibular dysfunction-associated migraine is the most common cause of spontaneous episodic vertigo (non-positional). Symptoms may vary broadly among patients, making it a diagnostic challenge to the otorhinolaryngologist. This entity usually presents with positional or spontaneous vertigo spells, lasting for seconds or days, associated with migraine symptoms. A better understanding of the relationship between central vestibular mechanisms and migraine mechanisms, besides the discovery of ionic channel disorders in some cases of migraine, ataxia and vertigo, may lead to a better understanding of migraine pathophysiology associated with audio-vestibular disorder.

ABSTRACT

A associação de distúrbios da audição e equilíbrio com enxaqueca é reconhecida desde a Grécia antiga quando Aretaeus da Capadócia em 131 a.C., fez uma descrição precisa e com detalhes desta ocorrência durante uma crise de enxaqueca. Uma revisão ampla das manifestações otoneurológicas da enxaqueca é apresentada, usando as mais recentes publicações com respeito à epidemiologia, apresentação clínica, fisiopatologia, métodos diagnósticos e manejo desta síndrome. OBJETIVO: Descrever a entidade clínica "Enxaqueca associada a Disfunção Auditivo-vestibular" no intuito de ajudar médicos otorrinolaringologistas e neurologistas no diagnóstico e no manejo clínico dessa doença. COMENTÁRIOS FINAIS: Uma forte associação existe entre sintomas otoneurológicos e enxaqueca, sendo a enxaqueca associada a disfunção auditivo-vestibular a causa mais comum de vertigem episódica espontânea (não-posicional). Os sintomas podem variar bastante entre pacientes tornando um desafio diagnóstico para o otorrinolaringologista. Esta entidade geralmente se apresenta com ataques de vertigem espontâneos ou posicionais, durando de segundos a dias com sintomas de enxaqueca associados. Uma melhor elucidação da ligação entre os mecanismos vestibulares centrais e os mecanismos da enxaqueca em si, além da descoberta de defeitos em canais iônicos em algumas causas de enxaqueca, ataxia e vertigem, podem levar a um entendimento maior da fisiopatologia da enxaqueca associada a disfunção auditivo-vestibular.

ABSTRACT

TEMA: potenciais evocados auditivos de longa latência. OBJETIVO: caracterizar os potenciais evocados auditivos de longa latência (Peall) de indivíduos com HIV/Aids comparando com os obtidos no grupo controle. MÉTODO: a casuística foi composta por 21 indivíduos com HIV/Aids pertencentes ao grupo pesquisa (14 do gênero masculino e sete do gênero feminino) com idade entre 31 e 48 anos e 21 indivíduos saudáveis pertencentes ao grupo controle (cinco do gênero masculino e 16 do gênero feminino) com idade entre 19 e 36 anos. Foram analisados os valores de latência e amplitude da onda P300, latência das ondas N1 e P2 e amplitude N1-P2. Os eletrodos foram colocados nas posições A1, A2, Cz e Fpz. RESULTADOS: no P300 observou-se que o grupo com HIV/Aids apresentou maiores valores de latência (p-valor = 0,010) e menores de amplitude (p-valor = 0,021) quando comparados com o grupo controle. Na análise do complexo N1-P2, ao comparar os grupos, verificou-se que o grupo pesquisa apresentou maiores valores de latência tanto para a onda N1 (p-valor = 0,035) como para a onda P2, porém esta última sem diferença estatisticamente significante. Com relação à análise da amplitude N1-P2, verificou-se que o grupo controle apresentou maiores valores, sendo esta diferença estatisticamente significante quando comparada ao grupo pesquisa. CONCLUSÃO: os achados do presente estudo mostraram que indivíduos com HIV/Aids apresentam alterações nos Peall, sugerindo comprometimento nas áreas corticais do sistema auditivo e mostrando a importância destes testes na avaliação audiológica de indivíduos com HIV/Aids.


BACKGROUND: Long Latency Auditory Evoked Potentials. AIM: to characterize the Long Latency Auditory Evoked Potentials (LLAEP) in individuals with HIV/AIDS in comparison to a control group. METHOD: the research sample was composed by 21 individuals with HIV/AIDS - research group (14 male and 7 female), with ages ranging from 31 to 48 years, and 21 healthy individuals - control group (5 male and 16 female), with ages ranging from 19 to 36 years. The latency and amplitude values of the P300 wave were analyzed; latency of N1 and P2 waves, and amplitude N1-P2. The electrodes were placed on the following positions: A1, A2, Cz and Fpz. RESULTS: the T-student test was used to analyze the results and the adopted significance level was of 5 percent. In the analyzes of P300 it was observed that the group with HIV/AIDS presented greater latency values (p-value = 0,010) and lower amplitude values (p-value = 0,021) when compared to the control group. The analysis of the N1-P2 complex revealed that the research group presented higher latency values for both, N1 wave (p-value = 0,035) and P2 wave, however for this last one, there was no significant statistical difference when compared to the control group. Concerning the amplitude analysis of the N1-P2 complex, it was verified that the control group presented significantly higher values when compared to the research group. CONCLUSION: the findings of this study indicates that individuals with HIV/AIDS present alterations in the Long Latency Auditory Evoked Potentials (higher latencies and lower amplitudes of N1, P2 and P300 waves), suggesting a disorder in the cortical regions of the auditory pathway, and therefore stressing the importance of such tests in the evaluation of these individuals.

ABSTRACT

A disacusia neurossensorial em pacientes HIV soro-positivos, pode apresentar-se de forma súbita e ser consequência de acometimento viral primário do VIII par, que pode ocorrer em qualquer fase da doença. Ocorre, também, por infecçöes do sistema nervoso central produzidas por germes oportunistas que atingem mais freqüentemente pacientes em fase avançada de imunodepressäo. Apresentamos um caso clínico de surdez súbita neurossensorial, como primeira manifestaçäo clínica da síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (SIDA), e também primeira manifestaçäo de toxoplasmose central. Nosso objetivo é chamar a atençäo para a surdez súbita neurossensorial como primeiro sintoma de SIDA com infecçäo do sistema nervoso central, auxiliando no diagnóstico e tratamento precoces e possibilitando o aumento da sobrevida destes pacientes
