    Author: Sanchez TG, Murao M, de Medeiros IR, Kii M, Bento RF, Caldas JG, Alvarez CA, Raggiotto CH.
    Journal: Int Tinnitus J; 2002; 8(1):54-7. PubMed ID: 14763237.
    Abstract:
    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.
