| Abstract: |
Sigmoid sinus diverticula are relatively rare but typically cause pulsatile tinnitus (PT) in the involved ear. Occasionally, symptoms produced by blood flowing through the diverticulum are severe enough to necessitate recontouring the sigmoid sinus. Recently, a 59-year-old female was evaluated after years of worsening unilateral PT. CT angiography identified a 5 mm sigmoid sinus diverticulum near the sinodural angle. Given the severity of symptoms, the patient's diverticulum was surgically decompressed and recontoured using hydroxyapatite bone cement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
