Abstract

Acute ischemic stroke in the supply of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery is known to be connected with facial weakness, nystagmus, hearing loss, hypalgesia, and ataxia. This is a case of a young man with unilateral deafness caused due to infarction of anterior inferior cerebellar artery. Clinical findings and audiometry showed evidence suggestive of cochlear localization for deafness. MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) Brain shows involvement of pons with infarct is seen in the right Anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) territory. The inclusion of labyrinthine auditory artery suggests sensorineural hearing loss.
