Cognitive potentials in children with learning disabilities.

A group of 16 children, aged from 8 to 14 years, with learning disabilities, were studied by means of a series of conventional and sensitized audiological tests, including recording of the late cognitive electrical responses (P300). They had no otolaryngological or neurological complaints but expressive language disorders (difficulties in speaking and/or writing), receptive language disorders (difficulties in reading and text comprehension), and lack of concentration and/or restlessness. Their audiograms, speech discrimination and immitance tests were normal. The P300 responses, as compared with those found in 20 normal controls within the same age group, occurred at significantly longer latency periods.

[Internal carotid artery in the middle ear: differential diagnosis with glomus].

The authors reports on a case of pulsatile tinnitus, where otoscopy revealed a retrotympanic mass. The initial tympanic diagnosis was confirmed by a CT-scan. However, surgical exploration revealed a large artery situated on the promontory. Post-operatory arteriography confirmed that this artery in the tympanic cavity was in fact the internal carotid artery.
