SIGMOID SINUS DIVERTICULUM WITH PERISINUS PNEUMATIZATION CAUSING PULSATILE TINNITUS: A RARE ENTITY
Journal Title: Journal of Hearing Science - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Tinnitus is a bothersome symptom with various etiologies. Pulsatile tinnitus constitutes only a small percentage of tinnitus types and is dueto a vascular pathology close to the inner ear which causes a sensation of noise. Many vascular lesions are associated with pulsatile tinnitus: paraganglionoma, persistent stapedial artery, a vascular loop in the internal auditory meatus or cerebello-pontine angle, carotid-vertebral stenosis, and arterio-venous malformation. We report one case of pulsatile tinnitus that originated in a venous diverticulum of the sigmoid sinus and which was transmitted to the inner ear through perisinus pneumatisation. Treatment options for this condition are discussed, with insights from the literature.
