Resumen: El desarrollo del Sistema Nervioso (SN) está afectado en los pacientes con Anemia Drepanocítica (AD). La Resolución Temporal Visual (RTV) es considerada como una medida de la velocidad de procesamiento y de activación cortical. Se utiliza como indicador general del funcionamiento del SN y puede evaluarse mediante la Frecuencia Crítica de Fusión (FCF). Se midió la FCF en 84 pacientes sin antecedentes de eventos neurológicos, en edades entre 8-68 años, y en controles sanos. Se midió el valor de la hemoglobina (Hb) de los pacientes al momento de la evaluación neuropsicológica. La FCF de los pacientes fue significativamente más baja. La edad correlacionó inversamente con la FCF; no se hallaron associaciones estatisticamente significativas entre los valores de la Hb y los resultados de la FCF. Se concluye que la RTV está disminuida en los pacientes con AD, lo que sugiere la existencia de afectación del neurodesarrollo como resultado de la enfermedad.Palabras clave: anemia drepanocítica; neurodesarrollo; neurocognición; resolución temporal visual. VISUAL TEMPORAL RESOLUTION IN PATIENTS WITH SICKLE CELL ANEMIA Abstract:The Nervous System (NS) is affected in patients with Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA). The Visual Temporal Resolution (VTR) is considered as a measure of processing speed and cortical activation. It is used as general indicator of NS functioning, and it can be tested by Critical Frequency Fusion (CFF). The CFF was examined in 84 patients without previous neurologic events and the same amount in healthy subjects. The participants were ranging in age from 8 to 68. The patients' hemoglobin level was measured at the moment of the neuropsychological assessment. The patients' CFF was significantly lower than healthy people. Age correlated inversely with CFF, and statistically 1 Endereço para correspondência: Raúl Martinez Triana.
