tinnitus/infarction

We reported a 49-year-old male with brain stem infarction who had bilateral hearing impairment and tinnitus at the onset and subsequently developed various neurological symptoms, including bilateral lateral inferior pontine syndrome, one and a half syndrome and upward gaze palsy. Although CT scan

Following surgery in the USA in 1992 to remove a large right cerebello-pontine angle tumour, a 39-year-old woman developed severe brainstem and cerebellar infarction. This left her with severe visual impairment and ataxia. She became able to communicate by means of an adapted finger-spelling

The authors report on a case of tinnitus suppression following deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson disease. A perioperative focal vascular injury to area LC, a locus of the caudate at the junction of the head and body of the caudate nucleus, is believed to be the neuroanatomical correlate. A

OBJECTIVE Many comprehensive descriptions of the clinical spectrum of infratentorial infarcts in elderly patients and with a retrospective design have been published. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and prognosis in young patients with isolated infratentorial

CONCLUSIONS There is evidence of an inverse association between cerebral infarction and tinnitus in this study. The effects of cerebral infarction on tinnitus could be explained by a neurophysiological model of tinnitus. OBJECTIVE We examined the relationship between tinnitus and brain MRI findings

BACKGROUND Acute ischemic stroke in the distribution of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery is known to be associated with hearing loss, facial weakness, ataxia, nystagmus, and hypalgesia. There have been few reports on bilateral deafness and vertebrobasilar occlusive disease. Furthermore,

An anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) stroke is characterized by vertigo, tinnitus, and deafness in addition to facial weakness, hemiataxia, and hypalgesia. Sometimes, it can present as sudden deafness with vertigo, without brainstem or cerebellar signs. We report a 55-year-old woman with

We report here a case of vertebral artery dissection, which is rare in childhood. A 12-year-old, previous healthy girl was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, nausea and vomiting. Although there was neither higher cortical dysfunction, motor weakness, sensory

OBJECTIVE We determined the occurrence of presenting symptoms in patients with different sites of acute myocardial infarction after controlling for age and conventional risk factors. METHODS Hospital-based study of patients hospitalized because of first anterior (n=731), inferior (n=719) and lateral

Sudden deafness without associated neurological symptoms and signs is typically attributed to a viral inflammation of the labyrinth. Although sudden deafness occurs with anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) infarction, the deafness is usually associated with other brainstem or cerebellum signs

Arterial hypertension belongs to the most important factors of origin and lasting of tinnitus. We have studied 18 subjects suffering from tinnitus without the history of diagnosed or treated arterial hypertension. ABPM method was used for diagnosing arterial hypertension. 12 patients (66%) fulfilled

The sudden onset of hearing impairment or hearing loss can be a characteristic sign of a vertebrobasilar circulatory disturbance. We report on a 65 year old male patient with an acute left-sided tinnitus followed by hearing loss as an initial symptom of an infarction of the left anterior inferior

The study case was a 66-year-old man who had bilateral neurosensory hearing impairment due to brain stem infarctions. He noticed mild hearing loss, frequent vertigo and tinnitus. About one month later, his hearing took a sudden turn for the worse, and he suffered from dysarthria, dysphagea and

OBJECTIVE We present a case of sudden bilateral profound deafness and vertigo, without any accompanying neurologic signs, secondary to bilateral infarctions of the cochlear and vestibular nuclei. METHODS Vertigo, vomiting, tinnitus, and bilateral profound deafness suddenly developed in a 65-year-old

A 56-year old male presented with a sudden onset of bilateral hearing difficulty. He complained of dizziness and gait disturbance at the onset and subsequently developed bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. Brain MRI revealed multiple infarcts in bilateral middle cerebellar peduncles, bilateral
