1Opinion of the Court
HECHT, Justice.
The court of appeals concluded a workers’ compensation award of permanent total disability benefits was not supported by sufficient medical evidence providing a causal link between the claimant’s injury and his employment. Upon further review, we conclude the commissioner’s factual finding on causation was supported by substantial evidence. We therefore vacate the decision of the court of appeals and affirm the district court ruling affirming the commissioner’s award of permanent total disability benefits.
