title: Sudden permanent hearing loss following anterior inferior cerebellar artery infarction.
abstract: Anterior inferior cerebellar artery infarction with the only sequel being a permanent unilateral hearing loss is described. The damage was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Hearing loss of vascular cause may be more common and permanent than realised, and missed if the other neurological deficits have resolved.
