Cortical deafness in multiple sclerosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cortical deafness in a patient with multiple sclerosis is reported. Complete recovery from total deafness was seen following stages of auditory agnosia and pure word deafness. The otological and neurophysiological studies suggested lesions in subcortical white matter. This report stresses the rarity of the condition, its subcortical origin and good prognosis.

[Hearing loss in multiple sclerosis: clinical, electrophysiologic and radiological study].
Clinical presentation of multiple sclerosis (MS) is highly heterogeneous. Deafness is considered to be rare. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of acute deafness in MS and to evaluate prognosis. The occurrence of acute deafness was systematically noted in a cohort of 400 consecutive clinically definite MS patients. Acute deafness was observed in 14 patients (3.5 p. cent) with ...
متن کاملA gradient in cortical pathology in multiple sclerosis by in vivo quantitative 7 T imaging.
We used a surface-based analysis of T2* relaxation rates at 7 T magnetic resonance imaging, which allows sampling quantitative T2* throughout the cortical width, to map in vivo the spatial distribution of intracortical pathology in multiple sclerosis. Ultra-high resolution quantitative T2* maps were obtained in 10 subjects with clinically isolated syndrome/early multiple sclerosis (≤ 3 years di...
متن کاملInflammatory cortical demyelination in early multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Cortical disease has emerged as a critical aspect of the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, being associated with disease progression and cognitive impairment. Most studies of cortical lesions have focused on autopsy findings in patients with long-standing, chronic, progressive multiple sclerosis, and the noninflammatory nature of these lesions has been emphasized. Magnetic resonanc...
متن کاملA new focal EAE model of cortical demyelination: multiple sclerosis-like lesions with rapid resolution of inflammation and extensive remyelination.
Recent studies have revealed widespread demyelination in the cortex of patients with chronic multiple sclerosis. In contrast to white matter lesions, cortical multiple sclerosis lesions are accompanied by only minor inflammation. Research into the pathogenesis of cortical lesion formation has been hampered by the fact that the conventional rodent model of multiple sclerosis, experimental autoim...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Anodal tDCS on Sustained Attention in Patients with MS
Multiple sclerosis is a de-myelinating inflammatory condition of the central nervous system that is often thought of as an autoimmune disorder. These patients suffer from extensive cognitive impairments such as poor attention and concentration and memory and processing speed; Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the anodic effect of direct cortical electrical stimulation (tDCS) o...
