Abstract

Lipomas inside the internal auditory canal are infrequent. We describe a 43 years old woman who complains about sudden unilateral deafness, tinnitus and dizziness. With CT and RMN we make a certain diagnosis of lipoma inside the internal auditory canal. Due to the absence of limitations, we offer an annual follow up for assessing the patient's clinical situation.
