We present a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) presenting with pulsatile tinnitus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Thrombosis

  Ten cases of pulsatile tinnitus associated with cerebral venous thrombosis have been published in the literature. In most of cases, pulsatile tinnitus was the only symptom. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Heart Failure

  After eight weeks, she developed left-sided ocular symptoms, progressing from conjunctival hyperaemia and orbital oedema to an abducens nerve palsy, and ultimately to heart failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Venous Insufficiency

  Ligation of the jugular vein in the neck or packing of the jugular bulb is contraindicated due to the risk of triggering intracranial venous insufficiency. [entokey.com]

• Osteoporosis

  The sigmoid sinus diverticulum may be a clinical manifestation of osteoporosis occurring in the perimenopausal period. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Wide Neck

  Angiographic studies revealed a wide-necked venous aneurysm of the left transverse-sigmoid sinus. Solitary stent placement across the aneurysm neck resulted in a slight modification in the lesion's characteristics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Temporal Headache

  This paper reports a case of spontaneous indirect carotid cavernous fistula that presented with pulsatile tinnitus, left-sided temporal headache and left-sided ptosis. The pulsatile tinnitus, its aetiology and investigation are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All patients had a diagnostic workup including cranial MRI and DSA. MRI examinations were blinded to the results of DSA and retrospectively analyzed in consensus by two experienced neuroradiologists. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Despite how common pulsatile tinnitus is, its workup, diagnosis, and management pose a dilemma for the otolaryngologist [2]. [hindawi.com]

• Gliosis

  – Head angioresonance - brain images in T2 showed hyperintense focus on left radial crown, which may correspond to small area of gliosis or lacuna infarction. [bjorl.org]

The choice of treatment is not easy, even when the diagnosis is certain. Reassurance of the patient is often sufficient. Nevertheless, a surgical treatment is sometimes performed--usually ligature of the internal jugular vein. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The symptom of pulsatile tinnitus allowed an early diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia and a more favorable prognosis. The case demonstrates the importance of blood tests for all patients who present with pulsatile tinnitus of unknown origin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical examination suggested a venous etiology. An aneurysm of the transverse-sigmoid sinus was identified on computed tomography angiography (CTA) and confirmed by digital subtraction angiography. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention In many cases, tinnitus is the result of something that can't be prevented. However, some precautions can help prevent certain kinds of tinnitus. Use hearing protection. [mayoclinic.org]

Identification of the etiology of this type of tinnitus is essential to define the appropriate therapy and to prevent sequelae that may result from late or incorrect diagnosis. [bjorl.org]

The use of any hearing aid may not fully restore normal hearing and does not prevent future hearing loss. Testing is to evaluate your hearing wellness, which may include selling and fitting hearing aids. [andersonaudiology.com]
