Abstract
The authors report on the case of a 38-year-old woman who had experienced incapacitating pulsatile tinnitus in the left ear for 6 months. Angiographic studies revealed a wide-necked venous aneurysm of the left transverse-sigmoid sinus. Solitary stent placement across the aneurysm neck resulted in a slight modification in the lesion's characteristics. A second session, in which embolization with Guglielmi Detachable Coils was performed, resulted in a 100% occlusion of the aneurysm, with patency of the parent vessel and resolution of the tinnitus.
