Remote tentorium meningioma causing sudden sensorineural deafness

The authors hypothesize that the sudden sensorineural deafness resulted from a growing meningioma inducing a neurovascular compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve, the vertebral artery already being in close relationship with the vestibulocochlear nerve in the premorbid phase. Resection of the meningioma allows for an autodecompression of this vascular conflict resulting in hearing restoration.
