title: MRI findings of vestibulocochlear hemorrhage in a leukemic patient with sensorineural hearing loss.
abstract: This case report presents a patient with M4 leukemia with signs and symptoms of acute sensorineural hearing loss. The patient's MRI demonstrated high signal on unenhanced T1-weighted images within the left vestibulocochlear complex that was consistent with subacute hemorrhage. Follow-up MRI showed clearing of the previously seen high T1-weighted signal from the left vestibulocochlear complex. This case report documents for the first time the MRI findings of vestibulocochlear complex hemorrhage in a leukemic patient.
