“…Cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid haemorrhage has been reported to cause reversible cortical deafness [7]. Sudden deafness has also arisen as a manifestation of a right temporoparietooccipital AVM [8]. Setzen et al reported two cases of cortical deafness due to Moyamoya disease [9].…”

“…A cerebellar AVM was totally extirpated 122 days after initial symptoms resembling those of ear disease appeared, including unilateral facial palsy, hearing impairment, and tinnitus [54]. Sudden deafness has also arisen as a manifestation of a right temporoparietooccipital AVM, the rupture of which caused SAH [55]. An AVM can be life threatening if overlooked and thus it should be considered when hearing is disturbed.…”

Auditory Dysfunction in Patients with Cerebrovascular Disease

Auditory dysfunction is a common clinical symptom that can induce profound effects on the quality of life of those affected. Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is the most prevalent neurological disorder today, but it has generally been considered a rare cause of auditory dysfunction. However, a substantial proportion of patients with stroke might have auditory dysfunction that has been underestimated due to difficulties with evaluation. The present study reviews relationships between auditory dysfunction and types of CVD including cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebrovascular malformation, moyamoya disease, and superficial siderosis. Recent advances in the etiology, anatomy, and strategies to diagnose and treat these conditions are described. The numbers of patients with CVD accompanied by auditory dysfunction will increase as the population ages. Cerebrovascular diseases often include the auditory system, resulting in various types of auditory dysfunctions, such as unilateral or bilateral deafness, cortical deafness, pure word deafness, auditory agnosia, and auditory hallucinations, some of which are subtle and can only be detected by precise psychoacoustic and electrophysiological testing. The contribution of CVD to auditory dysfunction needs to be understood because CVD can be fatal if overlooked.

“…udden deafness, which has been defined as a sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss of at least 30 dB across a minimum of three contiguous audiometric thresholds, has been attributed to a number of different etiological bases, including viral infections, vascular pathologies, autoimmune diseases, substance abuse, and allergies (Schuknecht, 1993;Kanzaki, 1994;Fernandez et al, 2003). In many cases of sudden deafness, the hearing loss is related to restriction or blockage of the blood supply to the auditory end organ secondary to cochlear ischemia, and the basis of the hearing loss rests in the compromise of the peripheral end organ and/or the cochlear nerve.…”

“…In many cases of sudden deafness, the hearing loss is related to restriction or blockage of the blood supply to the auditory end organ secondary to cochlear ischemia, and the basis of the hearing loss rests in the compromise of the peripheral end organ and/or the cochlear nerve. Tinnitus and vestibular symptoms are also common in patients with sudden hearing loss (Nakashima and Yanagita, 1993;Schuknecht, 1993;Fernandez et al, 2003). Although less common, cases of sudden hearing loss have also been associated with lesions of the central nervous system (Hansen and Sorensen, 1978;Musiek et al, 1994;Fernandez et al, 2003).…”

Audiological Correlates to a Rupture of a Pontine Arteriovenous Malformation

This is a report of a female patient in her midthirties who sustained a hemorrhage secondary to an arteriovenous malformation in the region of the pons. The patient's initial symptoms included hearing loss and tinnitus, which were followed by the more characteristic symptoms of headache and loss of consciousness. Results of audiological testing at three months postaccident documented the presence of a hearing loss and a central auditory processing disorder, and the patient was provided an auditory rehabilitation program. Follow-up testing over the course of an additional year documented improvement in both pure-tone threshold and central test results; however, at 15 months postaccident, some auditory deficits remained, especially in the ear ipsilateral to the primary site of lesion. The anatomical correlates of these deficits are discussed, as are the potential contributions of both the auditory rehabilitation program and spontaneous recovery mechanisms to the documented improvements in auditory function.
