Resumo |
INTRODUCTION We report the first findings of functional magnetic resonance imaging of the auditory cortex in a young woman with a bilateral cochleovestibular deficit as first manifestation of Brown-Vialetto-Van Leare syndrome. The patient had no open speech discrimination, even with hearing aids, and is depending on lip reading for communication. METHODS To evaluate the possible efficiency of a cochlear implantation, we investigated hemodynamic responses within the central auditory pathways using an auditory functional magnetic resonance imaging paradigm. RESULTS Blood oxygen level-dependent correlates were detected bilaterally along the auditory pathways after exposure to intermittent clicking tone stimulation at 2 kHz. CONCLUSION These results suggest integrity of the central auditory pathways and represent a positive argument to propose a cochlear implantation with the aim to restore hearing. |
