Core Tip
Core Tip: We report a 48-year-old male patient who was confirmed to have cerebral infarction with sudden hearing loss and vertigo as initial presenting symptoms. Our case suggests that if a patient with vascular risk factors initially present with SHL and vertigo before additional signs of brainstem or cerebellar infarction appear, doctors should consider the possibility of symptoms of posterior circulation infarction. For stroke patients, timely diagnosis and treatment are needed.
