    Journal: Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis; 2019 Jun; 136(3S):S53-S55. PubMed ID: 30872004.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Pulsatile tinnitus is a sound generated by an acoustic source from within the body, which is perceived by the auditory system of the patient. CASES SUMMARY: We report two puzzling cases of pulsatile tinnitus with normal ENT examinations: the first was due to a cervical internal carotid artery dissection, and the second to the compression of the foramina of Monro by a craniopharyngioma, leading to hydrocephalus. DISCUSSION: We review the systematic management and emphasize the decisive role of the ENT clinician regarding this pulsatile tinnitus complaint, because of the potentially severe complications of its underlying pathology.
