- Abstract
Cerebellar ischemic stroke is one of the common causes of vascular vertigo. It usually accompanies other neurological symptoms or signs, but a small infarct in the cerebellum can present with vertigo without other localizing symptoms. Approximately 11 % of the patients with isolated cerebellar infarction simulated acute peripheral vestibulopathy, and most patients had an infarct in the territory of the medial branch of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). A head impulse test can differentiate acute isolated vertigo associated with PICA territory cerebellar infarction from more benign disorders involving the inner ear. Acute hearing loss (AHL) of a vascular cause is mostly associated with cerebellar infarction in the territory of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), but PICA territory cerebellar infarction rarely causes AHL. To date, at least eight subgroups of AICA territory infarction have been identified according to the pattern of neurotological presentations, among which the most common pattern of audiovestibular dysfunction is the combined loss of auditory and vestibular functions. Sometimes acute isolated audiovestibular loss can be the initial symptom of impending posterior circulation ischemic stroke (particularly within the territory of the AICA). Audiovestibular loss from cerebellar infarction has a good long-term outcome than previously thought. Approximately half of patients with superior cerebellar artery territory (SCA) cerebellar infarction experienced true vertigo, suggesting that the vertigo and nystagmus in the SCA territory cerebellar infarctions are more common than previously thought. In this article, recent findings on clinical features of vertigo and hearing loss from cerebellar ischemic stroke syndrome are summarized.

- Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH), a proxy for sympathetic adrenergic failure, is the most incapacitating sign of autonomic failure. Orthostatic dizziness (OD) is known to be the most common symptom of OH. However, recent studies have demonstrated that 30-39 % of patients with OH experienced rotatory vertigo during upright posture (i.e., orthostatic vertigo, OV), which challenges the dogma that OH induces dizziness and not vertigo. A recent population-based study on spontaneously occurring OD across a wide age range showed that the one-year and lifetime prevalence of OD was 10.9 and 12.5 %, respectively. Approximately 83 % of patients with OD had at least one abnormal autonomic function test result. So far, 11 subtypes of OD have been proposed according to the pattern of autonomic dysfunction, and generalized autonomic failure of sympathetic adrenergic and parasympathetic cardiovagal functions was the most common type. Four different patterns of OH, such as classic, delayed, early, and transient type have been found in patients with OD. The head-up tilt test and Valsalva maneuver should be performed for a comprehensive evaluation of sympathetic adrenergic failure in patients with OD/OV. This review summarizes current advances in OH presenting OD/OV, with a particular focus on the autonomic dysfunction associated with OD.

- Abstract
Background and Purpose: Vertebrobasilar ischemic stroke (VBIS) can cause acute hearing loss (AHL) because the vertebrobasilar system supplies most of the auditory system including the inner ear. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term prognosis of AHL associated with VBIS., Methods: Over 12.5 years, 62 patients with AHL of a vascular cause who were followed for at least 1 year (mean, 49.2 months; SD, 24.4 months) were enrolled in this study. Quantitative audiovestibular function testing was performed during the acute (mostly within 10 days after symptom onset) and last follow-up periods in all patients., Results: On the last follow-up, approximately 65% (39/62) of the patients showed a partial (n=24) or complete (n=15) hearing recovery. All but 2 (97%) patients had acute vertigo and 56 (56/62, 90%) had a unilateral canal paresis to caloric stimulation on the side of the AHL. The most commonly infarcted territory on brain MRI was in the distribution of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (55/62, 89%). Multivariable analysis showed that multiple risk factors for stroke [odds ratio (OR) 10.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.72 to 13.7, p=0.011] and profound hearing loss [OR 3.92, 95% CI 1.03 to 14.97, p<0.046] predicted a poor outcome for recovery of hearing loss., Conclusions: Acute hearing loss associated with posterior circulation ischemic stroke exhibits a relatively good long-term outcome. Two or more risk factors for stroke and profound hearing loss are adverse prognostic factors for recovery of hearing loss of a vascular cause., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Rotational vertebral artery syndrome (RVAS) is characterized by recurrent attacks of paroxysmal vertigo, nystagmus, and ataxia induced by head rotation. Although recent report has described the RVAS as an important but unrecognized cause of isolated vascular vertigo, the locus of injury site responsible for isolated vertigo in RVAS is still unclear. We report here two patients with RVAS who had a stereotypic clinical presentation characterized by recurrent attacks of isolated vertigo induced by head rotation. The pattern of nystagmus observed in our patients with RVAS can be best explained by the stimulation of the vestibular labyrinth bilaterally or unilaterally. In RVAS, the isolated vertigo may occur due to transient ischemia of the superior vestibular labyrinth. RAVS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of positional vertigo, especially when vertigo is developed while sitting or standing position.

- Abstract
Chronic recurrent attacks of vertigo, not associated with any auditory or neurological symptoms, are a common reason for referral to our neurotology clinic. Even after an extensive neurotological evaluation, some cases remain undiagnosed. We prospectively evaluated 72 consecutive patients who presented to the clinic with isolated recurrent vertigo of unknown cause. All patients underwent diagnostic evaluation to exclude identifiable causes of isolated recurrent vertigo. We compared the prevalence of migraine, according to the International Headache Society (IHS) criteria, in the isolated recurrent vertigo group, with a sex- and age-matched control group of orthopedic patients. The prevalence of migraine according to IHS criteria was higher in the isolated recurrent vertigo group (61.1%) than in the control group (10%; p < 0.01). Only 16.7% of patients had an abnormal vestibular function test. The most common abnormal finding was a unilateral vestibular weakness to caloric stimulation. Our results suggest that migraine should be considered in the differential diagnosis of isolated recurrent vertigo of unknown cause.

Background: It was the aim of this study to investigate the pattern of evolution of hyperventilation-induced nystagmus (HIN) in vestibular neuritis (VN) and to determine whether HIN influences the dizziness outcome at the last follow-up visit. Methods: Fifty-three consecutive patients with VN underwent a quantitative vestibular function test including hyperventilation and the Korean version of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory during the acute period and the follow-up visit. Results: The incidence of HIN was higher in the acute (62%, 33/53) than in the chronic (17%, 9/53) stages of VN. Approximately 70% (6/9) of patients who continued to have persistent HIN at the last follow-up reported dizziness compared to only 27% (12/44) of patients who had no HIN. Patients who complained of persistent dizziness were significantly more likely to have persistent HIN and high Korean Dizziness Handicap Inventory scores at the last follow-up compared with patients who did not suffer from dizziness. In terms of the degree of recovery of dizziness, patients with HIN initially beating toward the contralesional side exhibited significantly more improvement than patients with HIN initially beating toward the ipsilesional side. Conclusions: The presence of either HIN beating toward the ipsilesional side at the acute stage of VN or persistent HIN at the follow-up visit is associated with persistent dizziness.

Sudden deafness without associated neurological signs and symptoms is typically attributed to a viral inflammation of the labyrinth. Sudden deafness as a heralding manifestation of basilar occlusion has rarely been described. A 60-year-old male with hypertension presented with an acute onset of isolated sudden deafness with vertigo. On admission, initial brain MRI, including diffusion-weighted images, was normal. Two days after the onset of symptoms, the patient presented with an exacerbation of vertigo. A follow-up MRI scan revealed new infarcts involving the right middle cerebellar peduncle, right dorsolateral pons and right anterior cerebellum. In this patient, the acute onset of isolated sudden deafness with vertigo may have been a heralding manifestation of the pontocerebellar infarction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
