Abstract
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) and facial paralysis are 2 important otolaryngology emergencies and diagnosing the etiology is very crucial to determine the treatment strategy. Cerebellopontin angle tumors and herpes simplex infections may lead to these situations simultaneously. Also, neurodegerative and systemic infection diseases can affect the cranial nerves VII and VII together. In this article, a patient is presented who had SSHL and facial palsy that occurred after tick-bite.
