Bilateral inferior colliculus infarction after embolization of a cerebellar arteriovenous malformation: illustrative case.

Background: Bilateral inferior colliculus (IC) infarction is a rare condition that can lead to severe auditory deficits. Cerebellar arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) treated with endovascular embolization pose a risk for ischemic complications affecting the brainstem.

Observations: A 54-year-old male presented with intermittent headaches and imbalance, and, following a fall, a subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebellar AVM were identified.
