Objective: To report a case of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia presenting with ipsilateral facial nerve paresis and concomitant severe sensorineural hearing loss.   Methods:                Design: Case Report                Setting: Secondary Government Hospital                Patient: One   Results:  We report a case of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia with concomitant ipsilateral facial nerve paresis and severe sensorineural hearing loss in an elderly female.  She presented to us with left facial nerve palsy House-Brackmann Grade III with prior history of ipsilateral sensorineural hearing loss.  MRI of the brain showed normal inner ear structures, but revealed a dilated and tortuous basilar artery with compression on the left medulla and possible branches of anterior inferior cerebellar artery as it coursed superiorly, and possible partial thrombosis of proximal basilar artery.    Conclusion:  Concommitant facial nerve paresis and sensorineural hearing loss can be the clinical presentations of this rare but important condition.  MRI is vital in diagnosing vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia.   Keywords: Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia, facial nerve palsy, sensorineural hearing loss, basilar artery

Suitable Treatment

Duplication of the internal auditory canal is a rare entity. It can be unilateral or bilateral involvement and usually found during an investigation of sensorineural hearing loss or facial nerve palsy. We report this image finding in a child with Down syndrome with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. There was no facial nerve palsy. We highlight the rarity of this image finding and the importance of imaging for detection of middle and inner ear abnormality in a case of congenital sensorineural hearing loss as it helps in decision making for the suitable treatment.

Canal Stenosis

Congenital internal auditory canal stenosis is a rare cause of sensorineural hearing loss in children. A retrospective analysis including clinical manifestation and radiological findings was made for seven patients who were diagnosed with congenital internal auditory canal stenosis from 1996 to 2002. Chief presenting symptoms were hearing loss, facial nerve palsy, dizziness, and tinnitus. Hearing loss including deafness was found in five cases, vestibular function loss in four cases, and profound functional loss of facial nerve in two cases. In all cases, the diameter of the internal auditory canal was less than 2 mm on high-resolution temporal bone computed tomography (CT) scan. Two cases revealed bilateral internal auditory canal stenosis, and others were unilaterally involved cases. Congenital internal auditory canal stenosis can be an important cause of sensorineural hearing loss, facial nerve palsy, and vestibular dysfunction. High resolution temporal bone CT scan and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were important tools for diagnosis.

Conductive Hearing

Hearing loss must be divided into conductive hearing loss (CHL) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). CHL is caused by sound not reaching the cochlear (abnormality of the ear canal, tympanic membrane, middle ear, or ossicles), whereas SNHL is a condition affecting the cochlear or auditory (eighth cranial) nerve. Hearing loss may be accompanied by other cardinal signs of ear disease, such as pain or discharge from the ear, vertigo, facial nerve palsy, and tinnitus, which guide the diagnosis. This chapter describes the approach to the patient with hearing loss.
