Unilateral virginal hypertrophy of the breast is a rare condition with an unknown etiology, though it is thought to result from hypersensitivity of the end organs to normal levels of gonadal hormones. We present the case of a 17-year-old girl who initially showed gradual growth after thelarche; however, in the last three to four months, there was a rapid increase in size, leading to psychological and physical problems that also impacted her social life. A clinical examination revealed that her left breast was markedly enlarged compared to the right, and she exhibited a drooping posture. Radiological investigations and a true-cut biopsy were performed to detect any underlying pathology, which revealed normocellular stroma consistent with virginal breast hypertrophy.

Objective: Cochlear nerve deficiency (CND) is a common radiologic finding among unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (USNHL) patients. It is generally detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is associated with higher cost, less availability, and possible need for sedation. Therefore, identifying computed tomography (CT) findings, such as cochlear aperture stenosis (CAS), that can reliably predict CND is valuable.
