Reversible sensorineural hearing loss with normal brainstem auditory evoked potentials in pontine hemorrhage due to capillary telangiectasia

Capillary telangiectasias are vascular malformations most commonly found in the pons that are rarely associated with hemorrhage. We describe a unique case of pontine capillary telangiectasia causing central brainstem hemorrhage leading to reversible sensorineural deafness associated with a normal brainstem auditory evoked response.
