Vestibular paroxysmia (VP) is an uncommon paroxysmal disease, characterized by vertigo, tinnitus, and postural unsteadiness. The main reason of VP is neurovascular cross compression, while few cases of VP accompanied with congenital vascular malformation were reported. Here, we describe a 22-year-old patient with VP caused by congenital anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) malformation who completely recovered after taking oral medicine. This report shows that VP caused by congenital vascular malformation can occur in adults and that oral medication is effective.
前庭阵发性眩晕(VP)是一种罕见的发作性疾病,其特征为眩晕、耳鸣和姿势不稳。VP的主要原因是神经血管交叉压迫,而伴有先天性血管畸形的VP病例报道较少。在此,我们描述了一名22岁因先天性小脑前下动脉(AICA)畸形导致VP的患者,口服药物治疗后完全康复。本报告表明,先天性血管畸形引起的VP可发生于成人,且口服药物治疗有效。
