Abstract:
To investigate the etiology.diagnosis and treatment of pulsatile tinnitus. One case with pulsatile tinnitus in our hospital admitted in May 2012 was reported and the relevant literatures were reviewed. The chief complaint when visited was pulsatile tinnitus. This case was treated by surgery. Pulsatile tinnitus was completely subsided without recurrence. Pulsatile tinnitus is an uncommon otologic symptom, which often presents a diagnostic and treatment dilemma to the otolaryngologist. The majority of patients with pulsatile tinnitus have a treatable cause. Failure to establish correct diagnosis may have disastrous consequences, because a potentially life threatening and underlying disorder may be present.
