Most occur in adult and present with ipsilateral hearing loss. They can be sporadic or associated with Von-Hippel-Lindau disease. Patient with endolymphatic sac tumor should be screened for VHL disease. We report a case of 52-year-old female with dizziness and headache.

This case is presented for its rarity with only few cases reported.
