Cochleovestibular nerve compression syndrome is a term used to describe a group of audiovestibular symptoms produced by vascular compression of the cochleovestibular nerve. The most frequent abnormalities are sensorineural hearing loss, asymmetry of the wave I-III and III-V interval in the auditory brainstem response, and changes in electronystagmography. The clinical presentation varies and symptoms include recurrent vertigo, tinnitus, instability, and motion intolerance. A case is reported of cochleovestibular nerve compression syndrome in a 40-year-old woman with right ear hearing loss and occasional dizziness and tinnitus. Clinical exploration disclosed no relevant findings, but the auditory brainstem response showed an increase in the wave I-V interval. Contrasted magnetic resonance imaging identified a vascular loop near the cochleovestibular nerve. The differential diagnosis and treatment of this rare syndrome are discussed. |
