Case Presentation: A 53-year-old male presented to the emergency department with acute onset of bilateral hearing loss as well as vertigo and severe vomiting. The Head Impulse– Nystagmus–Test of Skew exam was indicative of a central neurologic process. Computed tomography angiogram of the head and neck revealed near-total bilateral vertebral artery occlusions in the second and third segments. The patient was admitted for further evaluation; subsequent magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple areas of infarction in the cerebellar hemispheres, medulla, and occipital lobes. Discussion: This case describes a unique presentation of a posterior stroke. Common symptoms include vertigo, loss of balance, and vomiting. However, bilateral hearing loss as a prominent symptom is uncommon. Imaging revealed a rare finding of bilateral vertebral artery occlusion.

Objectives: The objective was to describe a unique case of sudden bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo presenting as the first symptoms of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods: A patient case is discussed along with a review of associated literature. Results: A patient presented with sudden onset hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo, and was diagnosed with CML with an initial white blood cell (WBC) count of 555 000 per microliter. The proposed etiology of otologic symptoms is hyperleukocytosis. Serial audiograms showed minimal improvement in hearing despite reduction of WBC. Conclusion: In cases of bilateral, sudden onset sensorineural hearing loss, evaluation for systemic causes of otologic symptoms, including CML, should be considered.
