Hemorrhage of the optic disc and neurosensorial dysacousia.
Forty-one high-tension glaucoma patients. 16 normotensive glaucoma patients, and 30 normals were studied in relationship to neurosensorial dysacousia. Although frequency of dysacousia was higher in normotensive glaucoma (87.5%) in comparison with high-tension glaucoma (75.69%) and normals (76.6%). this was not statistically significant (p = 0.53). When we compared glaucoma patients with and without hemorrhages of disc. 100% of the former had neurosensorial dysacousia and 71.4% of the latter had it (p = 0.047). The association of vascular disease in neurosensorial dysacousia and its association with hemorrhages of the optic disc suggest that there could be a common vascular denominator in both diseases.
