Objective:
To report two cases of transmastoid clipping of a sigmoid sinus diverticulum.

Results:
At six months' follow up, both patients reported complete resolution of pulsatile tinnitus with no complications.
Conclusion:
Transmastoid clipping of a sigmoid sinus diverticulum can be a safe and effective method of managing pulsatile tinnitus resulting from a sigmoid sinus diverticulum.
