Abstract

We present the first case of a middle cerebral artery aneurysm presenting as isolated hyperacusis. The patient had a Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) embolization of his aneurysm with complete resolution of his symptoms. The pathophysiological mechanism is discussed. We suggest further radiological investigation in young patients presenting with this symptom.
