Resumen

. Antecedentes: en la última década, existen evidencias crecientes de que défi cits neuropsicológicos, esencialmente en funciones ejecutivas, pueden estar involucrados en la patogenia de la enfermedad de Chiari Tipo I. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar la infl uencia de anormalidades estructurales sobre las funciones neuropsicológicas, fundamentalmente ejecutivas, en pacientes con Chiari Tipo I. Método: para ello se comparó el perfi l neuropsicológico de estos pacientes con controles sanos. Tanto a los pacientes Chiari Tipo I como a los controles sanos se les aplicó pruebas neuropsicológicas que valoraron funciones ejecutivas frontales de vigilancia o atención sostenida, fl exibilidad mental, y planifi cación y formación de conceptos (Stroop, CPT, WCST). Resultados: los resultados obtenidos sugieren una afectación de los pacientes Chiari Tipo I en los procesos de inhibición y autocontrol (Stroop) y en la capacidad atencional y en el mantenimiento del curso del pensamiento y la acción (WCST). Conclusiones: estos resultados proporcionan evidencias de posibles défi cits o anomalías en las funciones ejecutivas cognitivas, que permitirían diferenciar los pacientes con Chiari Tipo I.
