초록

Anterior inferior cerebellar artery(AICA) is a branch of the basilar artery which supplies the bloods for ventrolateral cerebellum and the lateral tegmentum of the lower two-thirds of pons. AICA occlusion can cause such symptoms as acute-onset unilateral deafness, vertigo, facial weakness and ataxia. A case of sudden hearing loss, facial palsy and vertigo caused by AICA territory infarction recently presented itself. Korean Oriental and Western medical therapy were applied in combination. Facial palsy and vertigo improved, but hearing loss did not improve. This case is reported with a brief overview of related literatures.
