Abstract EN
Background: Although inner ear dysfunction as a prodromal sign to anterior inferior cerebellar (AICA) occlusion before appearance of other neurologic signs is not a rare situation, sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) as a sole presentation is quite rare.
The very few reports published for AICA occlusion presented with SSNHL were all in old patients with multiple systemic disorders.
This report presents a case of AICA occlusion in an otherwise healthy adult young male patient that presents only with SSNHL, vertigo and vomiting.
Diagnosis in such situations needs a high index of suspicion. We here recommend MRI to be done in all cases presented with SSNHL
