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…

Hallazgos de potenciales vestibulares miogénicos evocados en la esclerosis múltiple

2013

Resumen Introduccion La esclerosis multiple es una enfermedad consistente en la aparicion de lesiones desmielinizantes, neurodegenerativas y cronicas del sistema nervioso central. Se propone en esta enfermedad, estudiar los potenciales vestibulares miogenicos evocados, que nos van a permitir evaluar de forma no invasiva el saculo, el nervio vestibular inferior y la via vestibulo-espinal. Metodos Presentamos 23 pacientes diagnosticados de esclerosis multiple a los que se les realizaron los potenciales vestibulares miogenicos evocados, comparando resultados con nuestro grupo control, integrado por 35 sujetos sanos. Se registro la latencia de las ondas p13 y n23, la diferencia interaural de am…

Implantación coclear bilateral en niños. Comparativa con la implantación unilateral y la estimulación bimodal

2020

Introducción El diagnóstico precoz de las enfermedades supone el primer elemento para llegar a un tratamiento eficaz. Esta actuación es mucho más determinante en los casos de hipoacusia en recién nacidos/as, dada la estrecha relación existente entre audición y lenguaje. En realidad, sólo disponemos de los primeros cinco o seis años para evitar que las pérdidas de audición tengan efectos permanentes en el desarrollo de ese lenguaje. Esto es debido al período crítico de aprendizaje, en el cual quedan selladas las características morfológicas y funcionales de las áreas corticales del lenguaje. Realizar una detección precoz de los problemas auditivos permite llevar a cabo el tratamiento lo ante…

Estudio comparativo entre implantación coclear uni y bilateral en niños de 1 y 2 años de edad

2016

Resumen Introduccion Los estudios que han evaluado la efectividad de los implantes cocleares bilaterales en ninos sugieren una mejoria de la capacidad auditiva en cuanto a la localizacion del sonido y la discriminacion del lenguaje. En este trabajo mostramos las diferencias en los logros audio-linguisticos con la implantacion coclear bilateral precoz frente a la unilateral, asi como las diferencias entre la implantacion bilateral secuencial y simultanea. Material y metodos Presentamos 88 ninos diagnosticados de hipoacusia neurosensorial profunda bilateral tratados mediante implantacion coclear bilateral en 32 casos, y unilateral en 56 casos, durante los primeros 12 meses (27 ninos) y entre …

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…
