Cortical Deafness in Children: Scoping Review and Case Report of a Bilateral Perinatal Stroke.

Background: Persistent cortical deafness in the pediatric population is rarely reported, and there is limited information on its implications for early intervention.

Objectives: This study aims to (1) conduct a scoping review on pediatric cortical deafness and (2) present a case report of a 7-year-old girl with left unilateral spastic cerebral palsy and cortical deafness resulting from presumed perinatal bilateral stroke.

Methods: A search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science identified 407 manuscripts.

Feasibility of a Virtual Reality System in Speech Therapy: From Assessment to Tele-Rehabilitation in Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Background/objectives: New advances in technologies are opening the possibility to support functional evaluation and rehabilitation in the field of speech therapy. Among available systems, a virtual reality rehabilitation system (VRRS, Khymeia) is a multi-domain ecosystem. Despite it being used in a limited number of studies, its use in speech-therapy has shown potential for promoting linguistic and literacy skills.
