There is increasing evidence that most cases of pulsatile tinnitus have an underlying cerebrovascular condition that can be easily detected on non-invasive imaging. This heterogeneous group of conditions always result in blood flow disruption with turbulent flow that can be heard by the patient, therefore causing pulsatile tinnitus.
The goal of this talk is to review the main underlying cerebrovascular conditions causing pulsatile tinnitus, the endovascular neurosurgical techniques that can be used to treat them, with estimates of efficacy and safety based on the literature and the presenter’s clinical experience.
Learning Objectives:
- To learn about the main cerebrovascular conditions that can cause pulsatile tinnitus.
- To learn about the possible endovascular procedures that can treat each of these conditions.
