Abstract
A 49-year-old man developed bilateral sudden hearing loss followed by cerebral infarction and cytomegalovirus (CMV) encephalitis. Autopsy co nfirmed intravascular malignant lymphomatosis (IML). A literature revi ew indicates that hearing loss can be the initial manifestation of IML and also that CMV infection is more than an opportunistic infection a nd may participate in the cognitive manifestations in IML.
