Abstract:
Vestibular schwannomas often present with unilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, or dizziness. Imaging is commonly pursued in individuals with unexplained unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, deterioration in word recognition scores, or persistent tinnitus. We present the case of a 76-year-old male with cough-induced vertigo as his primary presenting symptom. Vestibular testing suggested a right vestibular hypofunction, and a small right-sided vestibular schwannoma was discovered using magnetic resonance imaging. Cough-induced vertigo and associated nystagmus may be a presenting feature of vestibular schwannoma.
