Abstract:
Abstract Aim: To assess the efficacy of endovascular venous sinus stenting (EVSS) in treating pulsatile tinnitus (PT) caused by dural venous sinus stenosis (DVSS), and to determine whether it is an adequate remedy in cases with concurrent venous anomalies. Materials and methods: Seventeen patients (13 female and four male) with PT due to DVSS were treated using EVSS. The trans-stenotic pressure gradient (PG) was measured before and after stenting. The effect of stenting on the tinnitus was evaluated by questioning the patients at day 0, and at 3, 6, and 9 months after stenting. Results: Except for one patient who continued to complain of PT, all of the patients, including two with concomitant sinus diverticula, described complete resolution of the tinnitus immediately following stenting. The post-stenting PG was significantly lower than the pre-stenting PG (p<0.0001). No procedure related complications occurred and no recurrence was recorded during the follow-up period. Conclusion: EVSS is a safe and successful treatment for PT due to DVSS even in cases with coexistent sinus diverticula.
