ABSTRACT=Vestibular paroxysmia (VP) is an uncommon paroxysmal disease, characterized by vertigo, tinnitus or postural unsteadiness. The main reason of VP is neurovascular cross compression, while few cases of VP accompanied with congenital vascular malformation were reported. Here we describe a 22-year-old VP patient due to congenital anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) malformation, and recovered completely after taking oral medicine. This report shows that VP caused by congenital vascular malformation can occur in adult, and oral medication is also effective.
