Cerebellopontine angle meningioma presenting with hearing loss
We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with a cerebellopontine angle meningioma who presented with sensorineural hearing loss. The lesion was nearly 4 cm in maximum dimension and extended into the internal auditory canal. Hearing loss resulting from cerebellopontine angle tumor is most commonly caused by vestibular schwannomas, which arise directly from the sheath of the vestibular nerve (V...
متن کاملAcoustic neuroma presenting as sudden hearing loss.
Sudden hearing loss occurs as the initial symptom in 1 to 9 per cent of all acoustic neuromas. A case of an acoustic neuroma presenting with sudden hearing loss is described. In this case, the hearing thresholds returned to normal. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case in which an acoustic neuroma presenting with sudden hearing loss exhibited a return to normal thresholds. This sugg...
متن کاملAcute sensorineural hearing loss resulting from cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cyst
We present the case of a 49-year-old woman who presented with acute, nonprogressive left sensorineural hearing loss and benign positional vertigo that was associated with an arachnoid cyst of the cerebellopontine angle. The presence of the lesion was documented by MRI examinations that were obtained 7 years apart. Arachnoid cysts at the cerebellopontine angle are usually found incidentally on M...
متن کاملConversion deafness presenting as sudden hearing loss.
Conversion deafness is a somatoform disorder characterized by hearing loss without an anatomic or pathophysiologic lesion. Clinically, discrepancies between behavior hearing thresholds and objective electrophysiologic examinations, such as impedance audiometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAE), and auditory brainstem response (ABR), will raise the suspicion of this disorder. It is judged to be due t...
متن کاملArachnoid cyst presenting with sudden hearing loss.
Arachnoid cysts can occur at different intracranial sites, including the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). They often occur in childhood, in the posterior fossa. They may present with symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus and hearing loss, or they may be asymptomatic. Presentation with sudden deafness is very rare. We report the unusual presentation of a 67-year-old male with CPA arachnoid cyst and ...
