EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF HEARING IMPAIRMENT IN CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS
Abstract
Carotid artery stenosis (CAS), a condition characterized by the narrowing of the carotid arteries due to atherosclerosis, is a well-known risk factor for stroke. However, its impact on auditory function remains underrecognized. The inner ear relies on a constant blood supply, primarily from the labyrinthine artery, a branch of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA). Reduced blood flow due to CAS can result in cochlear ischemia, leading to sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and other auditory dysfunctions.
