Resumo
A Cinetose se caracteriza por intolerância ao movimento, resultante de um conflito entre as informações sensoriais. Surge freqüentemente durante a locomoção passiva em veículos, com presença de sintomas vestibulares e neurovegetativos. É um quadro clínico otoneurológico com elevada prevalência na população mundial, principalmente em crianças e adolescentes. A adolescência corresponde a faixa etária entre dez anos completos e vinte anos incompletos, período permeado por mudanças físicas, emocionais, mentais e sociais, sendo portanto, importante estar sempre atento às possíveis intercorrências nessa fase, que possam prejudicar o adequado desenvolvimento deste ser. O objetivo do estudo foi de avaliar o sistema vestibular de adolescentes com e sem queixas de Cinetose, por meio da vectoeletronistagmografia analógica. Foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Pesquisas Otoneurológicas do Centro de Pesquisas Audiológicas do Hospital de Reabilitação das Anomalias Craniofaciais Universidade de São Paulo - Campus Bauru/SP. Foram avaliados 156 indivíduos de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 10 e 19 anos e 11 meses com e sem queixa de Cinetose. Os grupos foram pareados segundo sexo e idade. O grupo com queixa de Cinetose compôs a casuística estudada e o grupo sem queixa, a casuística controle. Como critério de inclusão para ambos os grupos, os participantes deveriam ter idade entre 10 anos completos e 20 anos incompletos, além da avaliação otológica e audiológica periférica normal. Para o grupo que compôs a casuística estudada, considerou-se como critério de inclusão a presença dos sintomas da Cinetose e como critério de exclusão a presença de qualquer outro sintoma vestibular, que não a Cinetose. Inicialmente foi realizada anamnese específica para garantir ausência de queixas otoneurológicas...
Motion sickness is characterized by movement intolerance, due to a conflict among sensorial information. It's frequently observed during passive locomotion in vehicles, with vestibular and neurovegetative symptoms. Motion sickness is an otoneurological clinical picture with elevated prevalence in the world population, mainly on children and adolescents. The adolescence corresponds to the age between ten years completed and twenty years uncompleted, period characterized by physical, emotional, mental and social changes, considered therefore, the importance of paying attention to all possible occurrences in this stage, which may possibly harm the normal development of this human being. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vestibular system of adolescents with motion sickness complaint, through an analogical vector-nystagmography. It was developed at the Otoneurological Laboratory of Researches Center at the Hospital for Craniofacial Anomaly Rehabilitation University of Sao Paulo- Campus Bauru/SP. One hundred and fifty six participants from both sex, were evaluated, aged from 10 to 19 years and 11 months, with and without complaints of motion sickness. The groups were separated by age and sex. The group with motion sickness complaint established this casuistic studied and the group without complaint, determined the control group. As an inclusion criterion for both groups, the participants should have been aged from 10 years completed to 20 years uncompleted, besides the otological evaluation and the normal peripheral hearing. To the group, which formed this studied casuistic, the presence of motion sickness was considered as an inclusion criterion, while the exclusion criterion was the presence of any other vestibular symptom. Initially a specific interview was performed to ensure the absence of otoneurological complaints... (Complete abstract, access undermentioned electronic address)
