Abstract

An ischaemic infarction of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) is usually associated with vertigo, hearing loss, facial palsy, nystagmus, or truncal ataxia; it is often accompanied by other brainstem or cerebellar signs. Suddenonset bilateral hearing loss without associated neurological symptoms is infrequent in the literature. We report a case of sudden bilateral hearing loss, later diagnosed as AICA infarction without other symptoms.

Key words:
AICA
Infarct
Sudden-onset bilateral hearing loss
Resumen

El infarto isquémico en el territorio de la arteria cerebelosa anteroinferior (AICA) se asocia a vértigo, hipoacusia, parálisis facial, nistagmus o ataxia, suele acompañarse de síntomas neurológicos o cerebelosos y no es infrecuente encontrar afección auditiva concomitante. La hipoacusia bilateral como signo casi único de presentación de infarto cerebeloso es infrecuente y escasamente relatado en la literatura. El caso clínico presentado plantea el diagnóstico de un infarto en el territorio de la AICA, que se inicia como una sordera brusca bilateral.
