Summary
A patient experienced sudden unilateral hearing loss, unresponsive to steroids. Diagnostic imaging revealed a meningioma, and surgical removal significantly improved hearing, highlighting the importance of imaging for hearing loss diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Otolaryngology
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Sudden unilateral hearing loss can be a challenging clinical presentation.
- Initial management often involves systemic steroids, but efficacy varies.
- Retrocochlear pathologies must be considered in persistent cases.
