Pathogenesis (development of disease)
Auditory processing and perception disorder (AVD) is a term used to describe a variety of different impairments of hearing and perception.
AVWS is an auditory processing disorder at the brainstem level and a disorder of perception of these neural impulses. The latter is based on a disturbance of higher auditory functions involving cognitive functions.In this case, the pathogenesis lies in a dysfunction (malfunction) of the auditory pathway, although it is not excluded that it is a general central nervous processing problem. Different parts of the auditory pathway may be affected.
Etiology (causes)
Biographic causes
- Genetic burden from parents, grandparents.
Behavioral causes
- Consumption of stimulants
- Alcohol – alcohol consumption by pregnant women
Causes related to disease
- Brain lesions such as tumors in children
- Viral encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)
- Recurrent otitis – frequently repeated inflammation of the ear.
- Tuberous cerebral sclerosis – genetic disease of the child that leads to retardation of the child.
- Alcohol embryopathy – developmental disorder of the unborn child due to alcoholism of the pregnant woman.
