A 59-year-old woman who presented with chronic headache, neck stiffness and left-sided hearing loss is reported. The diagnosis of angiostrongylus eosinophilic menigitis was made. The patient improved after treatment with prednisolone, including hearing. Angiostrongylus eosinophilic meningitis associated with sensorineural hearing loss has not previously been reported.
