Tinnitus is an otological symptom which is often encountered and is yet difficult to treat. If tinnitus is of cochlear origin then it seems reasonable to assume that a total depression of the cochlear function will abolish cochlear tinnitus. To achieve this depression, transtympanic injections of a
Tinnitus is an otological symptom that is encountered often, yet its treatment is difficult. If tinnitus is of cochlear origin, a reasonable assumption is that a total depression of the cochlear function will abolish cochlear tinnitus. To achieve this depression, transtympanic infusion of a local
Intratympanic dexamethasone infusion was performed as a treatment for cochlear-tinnitus and its efficacy was investigated. This is a Steroid Targeting Therapy (STT) for cochlear-tinnitus. The overall effective rate for the 1214 patients with 1466 affected ears was 71%. In this study, cochlear
We performed Electrical Promontory Stimulation (EPS) for the suppression of tinnitus in 52 patients and measured Compound Action Potentials (CAP) using electrocochleography before and after EPS. We examined the relation between residual inhibition and CAP. The purpose of this study was to
Many previous reports have indicated that pulsatile tinnitus caused by an aberrant internal carotid artery (ICA) should not be treated surgically because of the risk of infection or aneurysm formation. We herein describe a case of aberrant ICA treated by middle ear surgery for which we introduced a
Pulsatile tinnitus of nonvascular origin is rare. We herein present a case of pulsatile tinnitus complicated with Jannetta surgery due to a communication created between the drilled mastoid cells and epidural space. She was successfully cured by otological surgery where the mastoid tip was packed
We present the case of a 43-year-old patient with sensorineural hearing loss and the finding of an aberrant internal carotid artery in the left tympanic cavity that was causing pulsatile tinnitus. The aberrant vessel was initially invisible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and was confirmed by
Myoclonus of the middle ear is a rare condition characterized by abnormal repetitive muscle contractions of the tympanic cavity. In this paper we describe what we believe is the first reported case of continuous high-frequency objective tinnitus caused by middle ear myoclonus. During exploratory
Phonocephalography is a simple, passive non-invasive diagnostic technique in tinnitus and cerebral angiology. Pulsatile tinnitus may occur in hypertension, haemodynamic disorders, or extracranial and intracranial vascular abnormalities. It is ignored by otologists and neurologists.
We report the case of a 29 year-old woman who complained of pulsatile tinnitus and impaired hearing. On otoscopic examination, her right tympanic membrane was observed to be in contact with a mass in the middle ear cavity, with the formation of a meniscus at the point of contact. Using a
In 48 patients who had neurosensory hypoacusia and whose main complaint was tinnitus, a 1% pilocarpine solution or a 2% carbachol Isopto solution was placed in the tympanic cavity by means of a No. 26 pencil-tipped lumbar puncture needle through the front quadrant of the eardrum. Patients were
Sounds arising from abnormalities of or abnormal communications between blood vessels in the neck or cranial cavity may result in objective tinnitus. It is audible to patient and examiner alike. Contrary to the usual subjective tinnitus of non-vascular origin, it is low pitched and pulsatile in
A 40-year-old male presented with a cholesterol granuloma of the petrous apex manifesting as progressive hearing loss and tinnitus. The lesion was treated via an extradural middle cranial fossa approach employing a new procedure to establish a drainage pathway into the superior tympanic cavity which
Pulsatile tinnitus (PT) is relatively rare, which accounts for approximately 4% of patients with tinnitus. It originates from mostly vascular structures within the cranial cavity, head and neck region or thoracic cavity, and is transmitted to the cochlear by bony or vascular structures and the blood
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the CT and MRI features of glomus tympanicum tumors accompanied with tympanitis and evaluate the diagnostic value of CT and MRI in order to improve the cognition for the disease.
METHODS
The clinical materials and images of 8 patients with the symptoms of pulsatile tinnitus and
