Endovascular treatment of sigmoid sinus diverticulum-induced pulsatile tinnitus
Abstract：Objective To study the endovascular treatment of sigmoid sinus diverticulum-induced pulsatile tinnitus and analyze the indications for plant stenting and stent-assisted embolization.Methods Five female patients aged 55 69 (60.5±5.3) years with sigmoid sinus diverticuluminduced pulsatile tinnitus admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to May 2013 were diagnosed by DSA and temporal bone CT respectively.Results Of the 5 patients with sigmoid sinus diverticulum-induced pulsatile tinnitus,2 (40％) with simple sigmoid sinus diverticulum were treated by stent-assisted coil embolization and 3 (60 ％) with sigmoid sinus diverticulum and sigmoid sinus juncture stenosis were treated by plant stenting.Pulsatile tinnitus disappeared in the 5 patients immediately after stenting.The patients recovered with no complication after stenting.Pulsatile tinnitus did not occur during the 1 2 years follow-up period.Conclusion Sigmoid sinus diverticulum-induced pulsatile tinnitus can be cured by endovascular treatment,simple sigmoid sinus diverticulum can be treated by stent-assisted coil embolization,sigmoid sinus diverticulum with venous sinus stenosis can be treated by plant stenting.
