1/2. A new therapeutic procedure for treatment of objective venous pulsatile tinnitus.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.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Jugular bulb diverticula.Jugular bulb diverticula may extend either laterally in the tympanic cavity or medially towards the petrous pyramid close to the inner ear. In the first case, this leads to subjective symptoms related to the presence of a mass at the level of the tympanic cavity and the external auditory canal and thus to conductive hearing loss and pulsatile tinnitus. In the second case, vertigo, pulsatile tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss occur. 4 cases of jugular bulb diverticula are described (1 medial type, 3 lateral type).- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33071071192712keywords = pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
