Descriptor Spanish: Pérdida Auditiva Central
Descriptor pérdida auditiva central
Entry term(s) pérdida central de la audición
sordera central
sordera cortical
Scope note: Pérdida de la audición debida a enfermedades de los VÍAS AUDITIVAS (en el SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL), las cuales se originan en el NÚCLEO COCLEAR de la PROTUBERANCIA (PONS) y luego ascienden bilateralmente hasta alcanzar el cerebro medio (MESENCEFALO), el TÁLAMO, y posteriormente la CORTEZA AUDITIVA localizada en el LÓBULO TEMPORAL. Generalmente se requieren lesiones bilaterales de las vías auditivas para que se produzca una sordera central. La sordera cortical se refiere a la pérdida de la audición debida a lesiones bilaterales de la corteza auditiva. Las lesiones unilaterales del TRONCO ENCEFÁLICO que afectan a los núcleos cocleares, pueden producir pérdida unilateral de la audición.

Scope note: Hearing loss due to disease of the AUDITORY PATHWAYS (in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM) which originate in the COCHLEAR NUCLEI of the PONS and then ascend bilaterally to the MIDBRAIN, the THALAMUS, and then the AUDITORY CORTEX in the TEMPORAL LOBE. Bilateral lesions of the auditory pathways are usually required to cause central hearing loss. Cortical deafness refers to loss of hearing due to bilateral auditory cortex lesions. Unilateral BRAIN STEM lesions involving the cochlear nuclei may result in unilateral hearing loss.
