Overview

Case report reveals thalamic hemorrhage causing sensorineural hearing loss, highlighting BAEPs as diagnostic tools.

Key Points

  • This case demonstrates sudden sensorineural hearing loss as a potential consequence of thalamic hemorrhage.
  • Initial imaging showed acute parenchymal hemorrhage in the right thalamus with a NIH Stroke Scale score of 6.
  • The assessment involved brainstem auditory evoked potentials, indicating reduced activity in thalamic auditory regions.
  • Following diagnosis, the patient received a prednisone taper and was referred for outpatient audiometry testing.
