- Abstract
Objective pulsatile tinnitus is an unusual disease. Diagnosis, suspected by the interrogation, can be confirmed by vascular radiography. Treatments are discussed and can use surgical solution or interventional radiology. The authors describe one case of arteriovenous occipito-sinusal fistula revealed by pulsatile tinnitus and treated with success by means of embolisation.
