Summary
This paper details treating two cases of vascular pulsatile tinnitus using digital subtraction angiography and superselective embolization. The study also discusses the condition's causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Otolaryngology
Background:
- Pulsatile tinnitus can significantly impact quality of life.
- Vascular etiologies require precise diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Observation:
- Two cases of pulsatile tinnitus with identified vascular causes were treated.
- Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was utilized for diagnosis.
- Superselective embolization was performed as the therapeutic intervention.
Findings:
- Successful treatment of pulsatile tinnitus was achieved in both cases.
- Superselective embolization effectively addressed the underlying vascular abnormalities.
- DSA provided detailed anatomical information crucial for treatment planning.
Implications:
- This approach offers a viable treatment option for select cases of pulsatile tinnitus.
- Minimally invasive endovascular techniques can be highly effective.
- Further research into vascular pulsatile tinnitus management is warranted.
