Introduction: Basilar dolicoectasis is an uncommon change,
which makes the vessel tortuous and dilated, which can lead
to ischemic, hemorrhagic or compressive changes. Objective:
The present study is case report of a patient with basilar artery
dolicoectasis and otorhinolaryngological symptoms. Clinical
Case: Patient, 53 years old, male, smoker, hypertensive, atrial
fibrillation and gout, who after hospitalization due to stroke
suffered a complaint of hearing loss, facial paralysis and dizziness.
During hospitalization, he was diagnosed with basilar
artery dolichoectasia. Conclusion: Basilar artery dolichoectasia
is rare, the otorhinolaryngologist should be aware of vascular
causes when evaluating a patient with otoneurological symptoms.
The treatment of basilar artery dolichoectasis remains
controversial.
