ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a young man with anterior inferior cerebellar artery infarct causing unilateral deafness. Clinical features and audiometry suggested cochlear localization for deafness. MRI brain showed an infarct in the right AICA territory with involvement of pons. Involvement of the internal auditory artery explains the cochlear deafness.
