The facial nerve carries a very sensitive neurosensorial, as well as sensory motor structure in very neighbourhood of the statoacoustic nerve. In this paper we are comparing related functional changes in the statoacoustic system in 2 samples with 235 cases of peripheral facial nerve palsies and 42 cases of central facial nerve palsies. When submitting […]
A total of 46 patients have been chosen from our “Neurofisiología Oftalmológica” Data Bank with whiplash injury – Type 4 . Cervico-encephalic syndrome. They were studied with S-Low Resolution Brain Electric Tomography (S-LORETA), and their results were compared vs. 100 normal patients. Using Loreta and SNPM in our patients allow us to determine which are […]
It has been demonstrated that by means of objective and quantitative methods – as the Test of Balance or Posturography – it is possible to evaluate the sensorial afferentias involved in bipedestation. The purpose of this presentation is to carry out a study using Posturography and Low Resolution Brain Electric Tomography (LORETA) in 153 Patients. […]
A study of cerebral cortical projections in Ménière Syndrome has been carried out. The analysis was made by Brain Electric Tomography – Loreta and the most significant areas have been evaluated by means of Statistical non Parametric Mapping – SnPM. The regular Ménière Syndrome (vertigo-hypoacusis-tinnitus) has a very important cortical representation in frontal areas Brodmann […]
Advances in basic research in neurosciences and the introduction of new non-invasive techniques, that make possible the detection of weak signals of the brain, have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment. The most often used methods for functional imaging of the human brain are positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). More recently, a […]
The tinnitus can be functionally measured and localized through sensorymotor and neurosensorial tests, then there arises a great demand for a systematic pharmacological treatment. These tests indicate the numerous and different locations of the symptom, and enable us to prove that in around 24% of the patients, tinnitus has a peripheral origin, in 35% it […]
A comparative study of cerebral cortical projections in migraine, in Ménière Syndrome and in Ménière Syndromes with migraine has been carried out. The analysis was made by Brain Electric Tomography – Loreta and the most significant areas have been evaluated by means of Statistical non Parametric Mapping – SnPM. Ménière Syndromes together with migraine are […]
About 15% of temporal bone fractures are produced by blows to the occiput. The fracture line begins in the posterior fossa, at or near the foramen magnum, crosses the petrous ridge through the internal auditory canal and/or the otic capsule. Therefore it is thus called a transverse fracture. In transverse fractures of temporal bone, due […]
Cervical syndrome is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the cervical structures including spines, spinal cord, nerves and muscles, marked by pain in the neck radiating into the shoulder, arm, or forearm, depending on which nerve root is affected or neurosensorial signs like vertigo, tinnitus, blurred vision etc. due to the cervical-encephalic irritations […]
Advances in basic research in neurosciences and the introduction of new non-invasive techniques, that make possible the detection of weak signals of the brain, have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment. The most often used methods for functional imaging of the human brain are positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). More recently, a […]
