Abstract

The aetiopathogenetic mechanism of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is still unclear. Microvascular impairment is one of the possible reported causes of SSNHL; nonetheless, few studies in the literature have investigated the association between SSHNL and vascular disease and a cause-effect relationship still has to be demonstrated. Two cases of SSNHL are presented and the possible role of vascular disorders in the pathogenesis of this disease is discussed.
