Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in Elderly Patients With Vestibular Neuritis
ConclusionWe found a positive correlation of white matter hyperintensities and VN which supports the hypothesis of vascular involvement in the pathophysiology of vestibular neuritis in elderly patients. Further prospective research is necessary to confirm this correlation.

Pure word deafness due to bilateral temporal lobe ischemic stroke occurring at different time points over the years: a case report on the insight of brain language network reorganization
Neurocase. 2021 Mar 9:1-7. doi: 10.1080/13554794.2021.1896744. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHere we present a case of a native Greek male patient who presented clinically with sudden onset pure word deafness after an ischemic stroke in the temporoparietal region of the right hemisphere, but who had suffered an ischemic stroke 9 years previously in an adjacent area of the left hemisphere, causing aphasic symptoms which resolved quickly and almost completely. What makes this case interesting and novel is that it is the first case describing a patient whose ventral language comprehension circuit did not reorganize successful...

Sudden Bilateral Deafness in a Patient with Transient Ischemic Attack: A Case Report
We report a 53-year-old man with an acute onset of complete bilateral hearing loss that gradually improved spontaneously over 4 h. The hearing loss was explained by an infarction visualized on magnetic resonance imaging, which showed a subacute temporoparietal ischemic lesion in the left cerebral hemisphere involving the insular cortex and an older infarction in the right temporoparietal region. The location of these kinds of lesions may typically not cause motor deficits, but sensory and cognitive (e.g., aphasia) symptoms, which can be challenging to recognize in a suddenly deaf patient. Taking the possible differential d...

Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus With Neuropsychological Symptoms: Two Case Reports
We report two such cases. Case 1, a 62-year-old man with a history of a subcortical hemorrhage in the right lateral temporal lobe and a brain infarct in the left medial temporo-occipital lobes, suddenly developed left unilateral spatial neglect and visual object agnosia. Diffusion-weighted imaging indicated status epilepticus, not stroke. His deficits resolved immediately after treatment with diazepam and phenytoin sodium. Case 2, a 61-year-old man with a history of brain infarcts in the right lateral temporal and left medial temporo-occipital lobes, suddenly developed global aphasia and cortical deafness. An MRI revealed ...

Musical hallucinations with a right frontotemporal stroke.
This report discusses some of the possible mechanisms for this patient's presentation. Although the mechanism of his musical hallucinations remains unclear, recognition of this uncommon syndrome is important when structuring rehabilitation and management for patients with stroke who have this disorder.

Clinical characteristics of cerebral hemorrhage with bilateral sudden deafness as the first symptom
ConclusionThe results showed that patients were mostly middle-aged and elderly with no typical stroke symptoms, and a history of stroke and hypertension increased the risk of hearing loss. The cause of hearing loss in patients with cerebral hemorrhage may be related to the damage of the hearing conduction pathway or (and) the lack of blood supply to the central auditory nervous system. Detecting hearing impairment in time and actively intervening can help most patients to improve their hearing significantly. The degree of hearing damage and recovery is related to the bleeding site, the amount of bleeding, and the timely treatment.

Cortical deafness of following bilateral temporal lobe stroke
Cortical deafness is an extremely rare clinical manifestation that originates mainly from bilateral cortical lesions in the primary auditory cortex. Its main clinical manifestation is the bilateral sudden loss of hearing. Diagnosis is difficulty due to its rarity and similarity with other language and communication disorders, such as Wernicke's aphasia, auditory agnosia or verbal deafness. Herein, we present a case report of a young woman with a sudden bilateral loss of auditory comprehension. Initially, a psychiatric nature of the disorder was considered, but the persistence of the symptoms, lead to the diagnosis of corti...

Pure word deafness in a patient with bilateral ischemic stroke in the superior temporal gyrus (STG).
Conclusions: Our case suggested that bilateral, symmetric lesions in the region of STG could cause pure world deafness. The diversity and severity of symptoms confirm the necessity of pure world deafness classification for subtypes. PMID: 32364009 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
