These tumors cause symptoms even when microscopic in size (below the threshold for detectability on imaging studies) and can lead to symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and facial nerve dysfunction. While the mechanisms of audiovestibular dysfunction in patients harboring ELSTs are incompletely understood, they have critical implications for management. The authors present the case of a 33-year-old man with VHL disease and a 10-year history of progressive tinnitus, vertigo, and left-sided hearing loss. Serial T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography scans revealed no evidence of tumor, but fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR imaging sequences obtained after hearing loss demonstrated evidence of left intralabyrinthine hemorrhage. On the basis of progressive disabling audiovestibular dysfunction (tinnitus and vertigo), FLAIR imaging findings, and VHL disease status, the patient underwent surgical exploration of the posterior petrous region, and a small (2-mm) ELST was identified and completely resected. Postoperatively, the patient had improvement of the tinnitus and vertigo. Intralabyrinthine hemorrhage may be an early and the only neuroimaging sign of an ELST in patients with VHL disease and audiovestibular dysfunction. These findings support tumor-associated hemorrhage as a mechanism underlying the audiovestibular dysfunction associated with ELSTs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns-07\/08\/0421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,24]],"date-time":"2008-01-24T12:50:52Z","timestamp":1201179052000},"page":"421-425","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Endolymphatic sac tumor demonstrated by intralabyrinthine hemorrhage"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Jay","family":"Jagannathan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Neurology Branch, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke;"},{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, Virginia; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John A.","family":"Butman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diagnostic Radiology Department, Warren G.
