Evaluación de la plasticidad cerebral en pacientes con transferencia hipogloso-facial: análisis de 70 casos
Resumen
Introducción: la plasticidad cerebral es clave para recuperar el control volitivo independiente de los músculos de la mímica luego de una anastomosis hipogloso-facial (AHF), de manera que el movimiento de la lengua no genere movimientos sincrónicos de la cara.
Objetivos: evaluar la plasticidad cerebral mediante el empleo de la escala de plasticidad (PGS).
Materiales y métodos: se evaluaron 70 pacientes luego de una AHF en dos pasos: 1) usando el comando del nervio donante, es decir moviendo la lengua, y 2) activando el músculo de la mímica, evitando conscientemente el uso del comando motor del nervio hipogloso. Se utilizó una escala de plasticidad (PGS) de 4 puntos para evaluar el control voluntario.
Resultados: 29 pacientes obtuvieron un PGS de 1; 37, un PGS de 2; 4, un PGS de 3 y ninguno alcanzó un PGS de 4. Se observó una relación negativa significativa (p <0.01) entre la edad y la plasticidad cerebral, lo que implica que, a mayor edad, menor plasticidad. También se encontró una relación positiva significativa (p <0.05) entre la calidad/frecuencia de la rehabilitación motora y la plasticidad cerebral, sugiriendo que una mejor rehabilitación se asocia con mayor plasticidad.
Conclusión: luego de la evaluación, se observó que la edad tiene una relación negativa y la calidad/frecuencia de la rehabilitación una relación positiva con la plasticidad cerebral. Sin embargo, ningún paciente alcanzó la plasticidad necesaria para un control voluntario independiente y completo.
