  • Title: Vertebral artery dissection: an unusual cause of transient ataxia, vertigo, and sensorineural hearing loss.
    Author: Touil LL, Watson GJ, Small M.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2013 Dec; 92(12):E20-2. PubMed ID: 24366710.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 33-year-old man who was admitted with intermittent ataxia, vertigo, and sensorineural hearing loss as a result of a vertebral artery dissection following minor neck trauma. Our aim is to highlight the importance of obtaining magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance angiography, and/or duplex color-flow imaging when presented with a case of fluctuating vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss with side-specific ataxia. Likewise, it is important to obtain the input of neurologists to optimize a patient's prognosis and minimize long-term sequelae.
