Abstract

Background: Cavernomas are an unusual type of intraparenchymal vascular malformationswhich are generally located in the cerebral hemispheres, brainstem and midbrain, but theyoccur rarely within cerebellum.Case Report: A 41-year-old man with cavernoma of the middle cerebellar peduncle andcomplaints of tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo was presented. Treatment was initiated withconcurrent transtympanic and systemic corticosteroids. It was learned that, two years ago hehad suffered from tinnitus, hearing loss and had been diagnosed as idiopathic high frequencyhearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed middle cerebellar pedunclelocalization of a 15x13 mm cavernoma with subacute hemorrhage. Auditory brainstemresponse showed lengthened in I-III and III-V interpeak latencies. The patient was managedconservatively. At the end of the third month hearing was improved significantly.Conclusions: Consideration of clinical, audiological and imaging findings together isimportant for accurate diagnosis in sensorineural hearing loss.

Özet

Giriş: Kavernomlar, genellikle serebral hemisferler, beyin sapı ve ortabeyine lokalize olan,ancak ender olarak serebellumda görülen, nadir rastlanılan intraparankimal vaskülermalformasyonlardır.Olgu: Kulakta çınlama, işitme kaybı ve vertigo şikayetleriyle başvuran ve orta serebellarpedinkülde kavernom saptanan 41 yaşında erkek hasta sunuldu. İki yıl önce işitme kaybı veçınlama şikayetleri olan hastaya yüksek frekanslı işitme kaybı tanısı konulduğu öğrenildi.Tedavi eşzamanlı transtimpanik ve sistemik kortikosteroid ile başlatıldı. Magnetik rezonansgörüntülemede orta serebellar pedinkülde lokalize 15x13mm subakut hemoraji içerenkavernom gözlendi. İşitsel beyinsapı cevabında I-III ve III-V dalgalarının interpik latanslardauzama saptandı. Hasta konservatif olarak takip edildi. Üçüncü ayın sonunda işitme belirginolarak düzeldi.Sonuç: Sensorinöral işitme kaybında klinik, odyolojik ve görüntüleme bulgularının birliktedeğerlendirilmesi doğru tanı için önem taşır.
