title: Reversible sensorineural hearing loss with normal brainstem auditory evoked potentials in pontine hemorrhage due to capillary telangiectasia.
abstract: Capillary telangiectasias are vascular malformations most commonly found in the pons that are rarely associated with hemorrhage. We describe a unique case of pontine capillary telangiectasia causing central brainstem hemorrhage leading to reversible sensorineural deafness associated with a normal brainstem auditory evoked response.
