    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Venous tinnitus, characterized by a pulsatile hum, is often associated with vascular abnormalities.
    • Understanding the etiology of venous tinnitus is crucial for effective treatment strategies.

    Observation:

    • The study observed three patients experiencing venous tinnitus.
    • A consistent hum was the primary reported symptom in all cases.

    Findings:

    • Simple ligation of the internal jugular vein was performed under local anesthesia.
    • Total disappearance of the tinnitus hum was achieved in all three treated patients.

    Implications:

    • Internal jugular vein ligation presents a potential minimally invasive treatment for specific types of venous tinnitus.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the long-term efficacy and patient selection criteria for this intervention.
