A case of PICA infarction presenting as vestibuler neuritis

Abstract

We reported a patient of 50 years old men, who presented with severe acute vertigo and nausea such as vestibuler neuritis without usually symptom or signs of cerebellar dysfunction. Cranial MRI of patient showed acute left infarct in the territory of posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of a cerebellar infarct in patient with acute vestibular syndrome even if the pattern of vertigo and nausea is typical of a vestibular neuritis.
