  • Title: Geniculate neuralgia and audio-vestibular disturbances due to compression of the intermediate and eighth nerves by the postero-inferior cerebellar artery.
    Author: Ouaknine GE, Robert F, Molina-Negro P, Hardy J.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1980 Feb; 13(2):147-50. PubMed ID: 7355379.
    Abstract:
    A compression of the intermediate, cochlear and vestibular parts of the VIII nerve by a redundant loop of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) was found at autopsy in a patient who suffered during 21 years of geniculate neuralgia associated with tinnitus, hypoacousia and occasional dizziness. The relationship of arterial cross compression to geniculate neuralgia and audio-vestibular disturbance is discussed.
