Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging a Key Tool in Labeling “Vascular Compression Syndrome”: A Case Report
Highlights
The anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) is one among the three pairs of arteries supplying blood to cerebellum Izumi [1]
Peripheral positional vertigo was ruled out with administration of Dix-Hallpike test and supine head roll test. oVEMP and cVEMP revealed normal findings which was further supported with Electronystagmography
These clinical features and symptoms directed the provisional diagnosis towards vestibular migraine if Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test reports were normal
Summary
The anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) is one among the three pairs of arteries supplying blood to cerebellum Izumi [1]. The vestibulocochlear nerve function may hinder due to redundant arterial loops, thereby leading to otologic symptoms Jannetta et al [3]. Vascular compression syndrome is reported to source reduction in dysfunctional hyperactivity of vestibulocochlear nerve. This notion of dysfunction is supported by the theory that a vascular loop around AICA is an etiological factor Girard [4].
