Unilateral hearing loss and vertigo can indicate multiple sclerosis (MS). Auditory evoked potentials help diagnose MS, even with unilateral symptoms, aiding in early detection.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Neuro-otology

Background:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) can present with diverse neurological symptoms.
Vestibular and auditory dysfunctions are recognized manifestations of MS.

Observation:

A patient presented with unilateral hearing loss, vertigo, and ipsilateral trigeminal and facial nerve involvement.
Initial investigations including neuroradiology and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis were inconclusive for MS.
Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) revealed unilateral abnormalities.

Findings:

AEP abnormalities localized the lesion to the brainstem auditory pathway.
The findings suggest that unilateral hearing loss does not exclude a diagnosis of MS in patients with vertigo.
AEPs serve as a valuable diagnostic tool for MS.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering MS in patients with vertigo and unilateral auditory symptoms.
Auditory evoked potentials can aid in the diagnosis of MS when other tests are negative.
Early diagnosis of MS is crucial for timely management and improved patient outcomes.
