Hearing Loss Associated with Neurologic Disorders Flashcards

1
Q

What is ANSD operationally defined as?

A

Intact otoacoustic emissions (although sometimes they may disappear later in the condition) because OAEs measure OHC function
Or present cochlear microphonic (CM) with absent emissions
Grossly abnormal/absent ARTs, electrocochleography (ECochG), and ABR responses

24
Q

What are some characteristics of charcot marie tooth?

A

It affects both motor and sensory nerves
Absent limb reflexes
Chronic degeneration of peripheral nerves causing muscular atrophy
Muscle wasting seldom seen above elbows or mid-thighs

25
Q

What is the typical onset of charcot marie tooth?

A

12 to 20 years
Full blown condition by 30 years

26
Q

Is charcot marie tooth life threatening?

A

No

27
Q

Does charcot marie tooth have 100% penetrance?

A

Yes

28
Q

What are the audiological findings of charcot marie tooth?

A

SNHL with onset either in childhood or adulthood
Hearing loss is slowly progressive
Hearing loss maybe caused by auditory neuropathy due to demyelination of CN VIII

29
Q

What is ataxia?

A

An inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements

30
Q

Is friedreichs ataxia common?

A

Yes
One of the most common forms of AR ataxia

31
Q

Is friedreichs ataxia AR?

A

Yes

32
Q

When does friedreichs ataxia manifest?

A

Before adolescence

33
Q

What is friedreichs ataxia characterized by?

A

Incoordination of limb movements
Dysarthria
Nystagmus
Diminished or absent tendon reflexes and Babinski sign
Impairment of position and vibratory senses
Scoliosis, pes cavus (abnormally high foot arch), and hammertoe
Cardiomyopathy
Abnormalities in motor and sensory nerve conduction, including CN VIII and CN II, which cause hearing loss and visual impairment

34
Q

What triad of clinical manifestations is commonly regarded as sufficient for diagnosis of friedreichs ataxia?

A

Hypoactive knee and ankle reflex
Progressive cerebellar dysfunction
Preadolescent onset

Early-onset dementia
Sensory neuropathy by 20 to 35 years resulting in lack of feelings in toes and ulceration, in some cases requiring amputation
Generally, an early death by the 4th to 5th decade, is reported

38
Q

What transmission does neurofibromatosis (NF) have?

A

AD

39
Q

Does NF have high penetrance and variable expressivity?

A

Yes

A

Increase in number throughout life
Usually first appear around puberty

45

A

Characterized by a progressive disabling/disfiguring course

50
Q

Does NF2 typically have audiological symptoms and not NF1?

A

Yes

51
Q

Do NF2 patients also have café au lait spots?

A

No
Less than half have them

52
Q

What other symptoms does NF2 have besides bilateral vestibular schwannomas?

A

Progressive visual loss is common
Intelligence is not impaired
Emotional consequences and devastating communication disorder

53
Q

How is NF2 diagnosed?

A

CT scans and MRI with contrast

54
Q

What is the differential diagnosis for NF2?

A

NF1 and vestibular schwannoma

55
Q
A
56
Q

How do you treat NF2?

A

Surgery to remove the tumors
Destroy VIII nerve, which results in deafness in both ears
Tumors can come back

57
Q

Are cochlear implants an option for NF2 patients?

A

No
No nerve to stimulate

58
Q

What is the current device option for someone with NF2?

A

Auditory brainstem implant (ABI)
An ABI bypasses the damaged auditory nerve and connects directly to the brainstem to detect sound
Provides sound awareness and very limited speech understanding
