UM Medical Team Reports Acute Finding from the Havana Embassy Phenomenon
|
A team of
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine faculty, along with collaborators from the
University of Pittsburgh, recently presented the first report of acute symptoms and clinical findings in 25 diplomatic personnel living in the
U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba, who experienced severe neurosensory symptoms after exposure to a unique sound and pressure phenomenon.
Michael E. Hoffer, MD, was lead author of the study, "Acute Findings in an Acquired Neurosensory Dysfunction," published earlier this month in the peer-reviewed journal
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology. The Miller School study included a review of 25 individuals at the U.S. Embassy who reported a localized sensation of noise/pressure and 10 individuals who were roommates of those affected and did not experience the phenomenon.
"Objective testing showed evidence of a balance disorder that affects the inner ear and a unique pattern of cognitive and behavioral dysfunction," said Dr. Hoffer, Professor of Otolaryngology and Neurological Surgery. "This cluster of auditory and neurological symptoms, along with associated psychological issues, does not resemble more classic traumatic brain injury (TBI) based on our team's vast experience in this area."
