  • Title: Management of hemorrhagic high jugular bulb with adhesive otitis media in an only hearing ear: transcatheter endovascular embolization using detachable coils.
    Author: Kondoh K, Kitahara T, Mishiro Y, Okumura S, Kubo T.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 2004 Dec; 113(12):975-9. PubMed ID: 15633900.
    Abstract:
    A 51-year-old woman had a hemorrhagic high jugular bulb protruding into the posterosuperior part of the tympanic cavity in her left ear. This (only hearing) ear had severe adhesive otitis media resulting in repetitive hemorrhage from the jugular bulb. Therefore, treatment to stop the bleeding was required. Since invasive middle ear surgery in an only hearing ear would involve a high risk of hearing loss and massive bleeding, transcatheter endovascular embolization using detachable coils was selected for this special case; it safely blocked the blood flow and preserved the patient's hearing level. This is the first such report in the otosurgical field, showing that transcatheter endovascular embolization using detachable coils was quite effective in a difficult case of a hemorrhagic high jugular bulb with severe adhesive otitis media in an only hearing ear.
