Abstract:
We describe the case of a patient who had a pulsatile tinnitus that was caused by a laterally displaced internal carotid artery. Her condition was treated with the use of a hearing did, which suppressed the tinnitus. We also review the literature on laterally displaced internal carotid arteries, and discuss their differentiation from a congenitally aberrant artery.
