Objective:
The purpose of this report is to describe our experience with sonography in a case of pulsatile tinnitus (PT) due to a high jugular bulb (HJB).
Methods:
A 71-year-old woman came to our hospital with a 1-year history of right PT. A right HJB was shown on cerebral angiography, and enlargement of the right jugular blub compared with the left side was found. First, the ultrasound probe was placed on the anterior right upper neck at the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle to identify the ipsilateral internal jugular vein (IJV) and measure the flow velocity. After the measurement, the ultrasound probe gradually compressed the skin until the flow in the IJV decreased.
Results:
The patient reported that her PT decreased after the flow in the IJV decreased. We decided that the PT in this case was induced by the HJB.
Conclusions:
This technique is less invasive and convenient for the diagnosis of PT caused by an HJB.

The abdominal examination is a cornerstone of clinical medicine, serving as a critical tool in diagnosing various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. It involves a systematic approach that includes inspection and auscultation, each with distinct yet complementary roles in assessing the abdomen. This article will delve into these two primary methods healthcare professionals use to examine the abdomen.
Inspection of the Abdomen
The first step in any abdominal examination is inspection.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
