She had multiple episodes of vertigo lasting 10-15 minutes in duration and 3 episodes of syncope within one month. The patient also reported progressive decreased hearing bilaterally (right greater than left), facial pain in the right V2 distribution of the trigeminal nerve, and bilateral visual changes described as flashes of light. The patient denies tinnitus, otalgia, facial numbness, facial twitching, or loss of facial sensation.
