cranial nerve, or facial nerve in case of hemifacial spasm,
or contact the bone wall of the internal auditory canal.
As a result of the limited number of cases and small
amount of literature found, further multicentre studies
involving a larger number of patients would be advisable
to correlate otologic symptoms with the presence of vas-
cular loops in the internal auditory canal and thereby
accurately evaluate the association between these symp-
toms and vascular loops.
