Anterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm at the internal auditory meatus--case report.

The patient experienced sudden onset of headache, vomiting, and right tinnitus. Moderate right peripheral facial paresis, hearing disturbance and diplopia appeared 2 weeks after the onset. These signs and symptoms improved to some extent after successful clipping of the aneurysmal neck.
