Endovascular treatment of pulsatile tinnitus by sigmoid sinus aneurysm: technical note and review of literature
Pulse-synchronous tinnitus is rare, and it almost always points towards a vascular pathology. We encountered a 56 year old patient presenting with 3 month history of right side tinnitus and was found to have a sigmoid sinus aneurysm after initial imaging. The patient was successfully managed using dual endovascular access and stent placement across the aneurysm, with a subsequent complete symptomatic relief. Description on endovascular management of sigmoid sinus aneurysm is not infrequent in the literature.
