Childhood central auditory processing disorder with brainstem evoked response verification

M L Lenhardt

    Archives of Otolaryngology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
    |October 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Central auditory processing disorder resulted from unilateral low brainstem dysfunction. Diagnosis involved absent stapedial reflexes and poor speech discrimination, highlighting the impact of early trauma on verbal learning.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Audiology
    • Clinical Neurology

    Background:

    • Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) can arise from various etiologies, including neurological dysfunction.
    • Understanding the specific neural correlates of CAPD is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A case presented with symptoms suggestive of CAPD, characterized by normal pure-tone hearing but significant deficits in auditory processing.
    • Diagnostic findings included absent stapedial reflexes and poor unilateral speech discrimination, pointing towards a specific neurological issue.

    Findings:

    • The disorder was attributed to unilateral low brainstem dysfunction, likely stemming from early trauma.
    • Brainstem evoked response recordings were absent on the affected side, confirming the central auditory pathway involvement.

  • A stapedius muscle abnormality was a key indicator that prompted further central auditory testing.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering brainstem dysfunction in CAPD, especially when peripheral hearing is normal.
    • Early trauma as a cause highlights the long-term impact on auditory processing and verbal learning.
    • The diagnostic pathway emphasizes the utility of specific audiological and neurophysiological tests in localizing auditory pathway lesions.
