AICA

AICA stands for the Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery, a blood vessel that supplies blood to parts of the cerebellum and brainstem. If it becomes blocked or ruptured, it can cause symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, hearing loss, facial weakness, or coordination problems. Recognizing issues related to AICA is important because it affects vital areas controlling balance and sensation, and prompt medical attention can help minimize long-term effects.
