The patient suffered. with left hemiparesis, agnosia, loss of activity, anasarca and left hypacusis after diarrhea and appetite loss, and was diagnosed cerebral infarction in the territory of the anterior choroidal artery by MRI. The symptoms were improved once after medical treatment, however, vertigo and left hearing loss evoked on the 20th day after the first attack. Right horizontal beating nystagmus, no response of left ABR, and ataxia of eye tracking test in ENG were revealed.
