“…As with that case, our additional tests confirmed that B-ATOT2 has intact hearing and recognition of sounds other than voices. Hence, she does not have a general auditory agnosia, a potential consequence of childhood herpes simplex encephalitis (Kaga et al 2000(Kaga et al , 2003. Rather, her phonagnosia is a selective auditory agnosia, just as her apperceptive prosopagnosia is a selective visual agnosia.…”

Right or bilateral anterior temporal damage can impair face recognition, but whether this is an associative variant of prosopagnosia or part of a multimodal disorder of person recognition is an unsettled question, with implications for cognitive and neuroanatomic models of person recognition. We assessed voice perception and short-term recognition of recently heard voices in 10 subjects with impaired face recognition acquired after cerebral lesions. All 4 subjects with apperceptive prosopagnosia due to lesions limited to fusiform cortex had intact voice discrimination and recognition. One subject with bilateral fusiform and anterior temporal lesions had a combined apperceptive prosopagnosia and apperceptive phonagnosia, the first such described case. Deficits indicating a multimodal syndrome of person recognition were found only in 2 subjects with bilateral anterior temporal lesions. All 3 subjects with right anterior temporal lesions had normal voice perception and recognition, 2 of whom performed normally on perceptual discrimination of faces. This confirms that such lesions can cause a modality-specific associative prosopagnosia.

“…Hearing loss following neonatal infection can be bilateral or unilateral severe to profound SNHL ( Westerberg et al., 2008 ). One case series described four children with mild to moderate SNHL on ABRs but severe auditory agnosia and bilateral auditory cortex lesions on MRI after herpes encephalitis ( Kaga, Kaga, Tamai, & Shindo, 2003 ).…”

Viral Causes of Hearing Loss: A Review for Hearing Health Professionals

A number of viral infections can cause hearing loss. Hearing loss induced by these viruses can be congenital or acquired, unilateral or bilateral. Certain viral infections can directly damage inner ear structures, others can induce inflammatory responses which then cause this damage, and still others can increase susceptibility or bacterial or fungal infection, leading to hearing loss. Typically, virus-induced hearing loss is sensorineural, although conductive and mixed hearing losses can be seen following infection with certain viruses. Occasionally, recovery of hearing after these infections can occur spontaneously. Most importantly, some of these viral infections can be prevented or treated. For many of these viruses, guidelines for their treatment or prevention have recently been revised. In this review, we outline many of the viruses that cause hearing loss, their epidemiology, course, prevention, and treatment.

“…Kaga et al (19) berichteten über vier Kinder, deren bilaterale auditorische Kortizes im frühen Kindesalter durch eine Herpes-Enzephalitis geschädigt worden waren. Neben einem geringen Hörverlust (keine Taubheit) fand sich ein Verlust fast aller auditiver perzeptiver Fähigkeiten bei allen vier Kindern, die mittlerweile in spezialisierten Schulen für behinderte bzw.…”

ZusammenfassungAmusien sind erworbene oder angeborene hirnorganische Einschränkungen musikalischer Fähigkeiten. Diese Arbeit führt in bisherige Klassifikationen der Amusien ein und gibt einen Überblick über Ursachen dieser Musikalitätsstörungen. Gegenüber der angeborenen, kongenitalen Amusie stellen die erworbenen musikalischen Funktionsstörungen des Gehirns unterschiedlicher Genese, z. B. nach einem Schlaganfall oder nach operativen Eingriffen am Gehirn, die häufigere Ursache von Amusien dar. Seltene Ätiologien von Amusien und historische Aspekte dieses Phänomens ergänzen diese Einführung in ein noch wenig erforschtes Gebiet der Musikphysiologie. Abschließend wird auf Aspekte der Therapie von Amusien eingegangen.
