A new therapeutic procedure for treatment of objective venous pulsatile tinnitus

Tanit Ganz Sanchez et al. Int Tinnitus J. 2002.

Abstract

Pulsatile tinnitus usually means a turbulent flow within the vessels. We describe a 54-year-old man with a disabling objective pulsatile tinnitus due to a diverticulum of the sigmoid sinus toward the ipsilateral mastoid. We performed a surgical intervention via the endovascular route using coils to obliterate the diverticulum and a stent to avoid coil migration. The patient had a complete and immediate remission of the pulsatile tinnitus. This procedure has been described only in arterial circulation.
