청력 소실이 없이 발생한 급성 허혈 전정신경병증

초록

Acute isolated vestibulopathy could be caused by either viral inflammation or ischemia. However, diagnosing ischemicvestibulopathy is difficult due to the ambiguity of the causal relationship between ischemia and peripheralvestibulopathy. We present here a patient with acute ischemic vestibulopathy without hearing loss caused by internalauditory artery occlusion, indirectly proven by the finding of a simultaneously developed silent cerebellar infarction. Thedetails of this case suggest that patients with acute isolated peripheral vestibulopathy should be carefully evaluated forunderlying causes, including vascular risk factors.
