    Author: Pirodda A, Sorrenti G, Marliani AF, Cappello I.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1994 Mar; 108(3):237-9. PubMed ID: 8169508.
    Abstract:
    An aberrant internal carotid artery in a young woman complaining of pulsatile tinnitus and conductive hearing loss was diagnosed pre-operatively by CT scan and angiographic findings. An exploratory tympanotomy was performed in order to evaluate the cause of the severe conductive hearing loss. It was possible to detect a large persistent stapedial artery associated with a stapedial fixation of unknown cause. Despite these vascular anomalies a stapedotomy was performed successfully.
