Cortical and Brainstem Topognostic Testing in Tinnitus Patients - A Preliminary Report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Preliminary electrophysiologic topognostic test findings suggest a method for the functional localization and quantification of tinnitus; and provides a basis for the selection and monitoring of treatment. Numerous and different locations of the tinnitus symptom have been identified. In our series approximately 24% of tinnitus patients were identified to have a peripheral origin; 35% originated in the brainstem; and 41% at a supratentorial level.

Central Crosstalk for Somatic Tinnitus: Abnormal Vergence Eye Movements
BACKGROUND Frequent oulomotricity problems with orthoptic testing were reported in patients with tinnitus. This study examines with objective recordings vergence eye movements in patients with somatic tinnitus patients with ability to modify their subjective tinnitus percept by various movements, such as jaw, neck, eye movements or skin pressure. METHODS Vergence eye movements were recorded w...
متن کاملDetailed Analysis of High Frequency Auditory Brainstem Response in Patients with Tinnitus: A Preliminary Study.
ABSTRACT Increased spontaneous activity and aberrant neural synchrony is thought to be the underlying cause of tinnitus. The perceived pitch of tinnitus may be dictated by frequency specific neural fibers of the subcortical pathway, or the projection of altered cortical activity by-way-of tonotopic reorganizations. Subcortical neural activity in relation to tinnitus was characterized using ABR ...
متن کاملNoise-induced tinnitus: auditory evoked potential in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients
OBJECTIVES We evaluated the central auditory pathways in workers with noise-induced tinnitus with normal hearing thresholds, compared the auditory brainstem response results in groups with and without tinnitus and correlated the tinnitus location to the auditory brainstem response findings in individuals with a history of occupational noise exposure. METHOD Sixty individuals participated in t...
متن کاملThe slow-brainstem syndrome: tinnitus and dyssynchrony in the central nervous system.
Among older patients we regularly find those who complain of a hazy tinnitus in combination with vertigo, giddiness, and dizziness. They also report a reduced state of alertness. Objectively, these patients exhibit an increase in latencies of experimentally evoked vestibular nystagmus and of auditory brainstem-evoked potentials. This group of patients is affected by the disorder known as slow-b...
متن کاملAbnormal Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Findings in a Near-Normal Hearing Child with Noonan Syndrome
Introduction: Noonan syndrome (NS) is a heterogeneous genetic disease that affects many parts of the body. It was named after Dr. Jacqueline Anne Noonan, a paediatric cardiologist.Case Report: We report audiological tests and auditory brainstem response (ABR) findings in a 5-year old Malay boy with NS. Despite showing the marked signs of NS, the child could only produce a few meaningful words. ...
