- Abstract
- Sudden bilateral hearing loss is mainly caused by peripheral otologic disorders or psychogenic origins. Bilateral
temporal lobe infarcts can be one of the rare causes. We report a 50-year-old man presented with cortical deafness due to
bilateral temporal lobe infarctions. He was admitted at hospital because he did not respond to any verbal questions or
environmental sounds, although he understood written commands partially and spoke fluently. Brain MRI
demonstrated ischemic infarcts in both temporal lobes involving primary auditory cortex. Key Words: Cerebral infarction, Sudden hearing loss
