Epilepsy in the vibroacoustic disease: a case report.

open access: closedAviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1999
Late-onset epilepsy was one of the first neurological problems identified in patients diagnosed with vibroacoustic disease. Other clinical situations, such as automatisms and rage-like reaction crises were also observed. Some cases of epileptic seizures were triggered by different types of stimuli.This study describes the clinical case of a 30-yr-old ...

Neurological aspects of vibroacoustic disease.

open access: closedAviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1999
Mood and behavioral abnormalities are the most common early findings related to vibroacoustic disease (VAD). Other signs and symptoms have been observed in VAD patients. Brain MRI discloses small multifocal lesions in about 50% of subjects with more than 10 yr of occupational exposure to large pressure amplitude (> or = 90 dB SPL) and low frequency ...

Airway flow limitation in patients with vibroacoustic disease.

open access: closedAviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1999
Vibroacoustic disease (VAD) is a pathology caused by occupational exposure to large pressure amplitude and low frequency (LPALF) noise (> or =90 dB SPL, < or =500 Hz), and has been the object of study by this group for the past 20 yr. In a group of 140 VAD-diagnosed patients, 7 non-smoker aircraft technicians developed clinical signs of respiratory ...

A unique case of vibroacoustic disease: a tribute to an extraordinary patient.

open access: closedAviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1999
This paper describes the case of a patient, Mr. A, who died in 1987. The information provided by Mr. A in life, and his insistence on making a will demanding an autopsy on his death, has given us invaluable data on Vibroacoustic Disease (VAD). Mr. A was an intellectually curious man who researched the medical literature related to his condition, and ...

Balance disturbances in individuals with vibroacoustic disease.

open access: closedAviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1999
In previous studies, patients with vibroacoustic disease (VAD) presented hyperintense foci in T2 of the cerebral white matter, brainstem and basal nuclei. The most probable etiology is ischemia. One of the most frequent complaints of these patients is balance disturbances which, in two cases, has threatened the patients' ability to maintain their jobs.

The clinical stages of vibroacoustic disease.

open access: closedAviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1999
Vibroacoustic disease (VAD) is an occupational disease occurring in susceptible workers who have had long-term exposure (> or = 10 yr) to large pressure amplitude (> or =90 dB SPL) and low frequency noise (< or = 500 Hz). The clinical progression is insidious, and lesions are found in many systems throughout the body.
