Management of cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea.

2013

Abstract Introduction Cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea results from an abnormal communication between the subarachnoid space and tympanomastoid compartment; most of them are of traumatic aetiology. They have clinical interest due to the potential risk of meningitis, directly related to the aetiology. Our aim was to show our experience in the management of this process. Methods A total of 17 patients were diagnosed and treated for cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea from 2003 to 2011. Results In our study, the highest percentage of cases was spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea, with a wide clinical presentation. The diagnosis was based on the determination of beta-2-transferrin and radiological st…

Radiosurgery as Treatment for Acoustic Neuroma. Ten Years’ Experience

2013

The acoustic neuroma is a benign tumour that usually affects the vestibular portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve. It represents 8% of all intracranial tumours and 80% of those arising at the cerebellopontine angle. There are 3 treatment options: microsurgery (the technique of choice), radiosurgery and observation. The objective of the study was to evaluate the results and side effects obtained using radiosurgery as treatment for acoustic neuroma.We performed a review of all patients treated with radiosurgery (Gamma Knife and linear accelerator) at doses of 1200-1300 cGy for unilateral acoustic neuroma in our hospital from January 1999 until January 2010. In all patients we evaluated the o…

Comparative Study Between Unilateral and Bilateral Cochlear Implantation in Children of 1 and 2 Years of Age

2016

Abstract Introduction The studies that have evaluated the effectiveness of bilateral cochlear implantation in children suggest an improvement in hearing about sound localisation and speech discrimination. In this paper we show the differences in audio-linguistic achievements with early bilateral cochlear implantation versus unilateral, and differences between simultaneous and sequential bilateral implantation. Material and methods We present 88 children with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss, treated with bilateral cochlear implantation in 32 cases and unilateral in 56 cases, during the first 12 months (27 children) of life and between 12 and 24 months (61 children). We conducte…

Análisis de la potencia de salida y del rendimiento auditivo de los dispositivos auditivos osteointegrados

2022

Resumen Antecedentes y objetivos Los dispositivos auditivos osteointegrados utilizan la transmision del sonido por via osea para producir una mejoria auditiva. Los mecanismos y factores que intervienen en esta transmision han sido ampliamente estudiados, sin embargo, existen otros aspectos que no conocemos, por ejemplo, la influencia que tiene la potencia de salida del procesador. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue conocer si existe alguna relacion entre la potencia que emiten estos dispositivos y la mejoria auditiva que producen. Materiales y metodos Hemos realizado un estudio en 44 pacientes portadores de un Baha® 5 percutaneo. De cada paciente se obtuvieron los umbrales de via aer…

Abstract Objective To assess the diagnostic certainty of CT images to identify regional spread of head and neck tumours. Patients and method A CT study was performed on 86 patients with neoplasms in the larynx and/or pharynx. After this, surgical dissection was performed for 142 neck sides. In the imaging study the following parameters were considered for all patients before suspecting malignant nodes: size of adenopathy bigger than 10–11 mm, irregular borders, central necrosis, spherical shape, capsular enhancement, and presence of groups with 3 or more lymphadenopathies. Results 48.5% of dissections were N+. Sensitivity and specificity for physical examination were 59% and 82%, respective…

Vestibular evoked myogenic potential findings in multiple sclerosis.

2013

Abstract Introduction Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease involving the occurrence of demyelinating, chronic neurodegenerative lesions in the central nervous system. We studied vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) in this pathology, to allow us to evaluate the saccule, inferior vestibular nerve and vestibular-spinal pathway non-invasively. Methods There were 23 patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis who underwent VEMP recordings, comparing our results with a control group consisting of 35 healthy subjects. We registered p13 and n23 wave latencies, interaural amplitude difference and asymmetry ratio between both ears. Subjects also underwent an otoscopy and audiometric…

To evaluate the characteristics of hearing loss (HL) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).A comparative case-control study was performed with 194 patients and 107 healthy subjects. All of them were submitted to pure-tone audiometry and detection of inflammatory parameters and Western blot for anticochlear antibodies.HL was detected in 42.7 % of patients with RA (15.9 % in controls; P.001). This was sensorineural in 38.6 %. Three or more altered blood parameters appeared in 28.9 % of patients with RA (17.6 % in controls; P.01). We observed positive Western blot in 12 % of patients with RA and HL and none among healthy controls.There is a predisposition to HL, mainly sensorineural, in R…
