E-081 Endovascular treatment of pulsatile tinnitus caused by a dilated mastoid emissary vein: a case report and literature review

ConclusionEndovascular coil embolization appears to be an effective treatment for pulsatile tinnitus associated with MEVs, as demonstrated by our case and a review of existing literature. Despite the limited number of reported cases, the consistent success in symptom resolution suggests the potential for this treatment option in similar patients. Additionally, the endovascular approach is advantageous due to the ability to utilize BTO to evaluate symptomatic response prior to embolization. Further research with larger cohorts is needed to establish the long-term efficacy and safety of this approach.Abstract E-081 Figure 1A: Sagittal view of dilated right MEV.
