Abstract

Abstract: Pulsatile tinnitus(PT)is a type of rhythmic tinnitus symptom. The pathological mechanism of PT is still unclear, its causes include various diseases such as vascular malformation, sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence/diverticulum, paraganglioma, superior canal dehiscence syndrome, and palatal/middle ear myoclonus, etc. Surgical treatment is the main method of PT, the scope of medical treatment is smaller in comparison. Endovascular stenting, coil embolization and surgical treatment represented by surface reconstruction have been widely used in clinical management. Most of PAD can be significantly reduced or eliminated after treatment, with ideal long-term efficacy and low adverse event rate. However, because the pathogenesis of PT is still unclear, there is no unified opinion for the management of PT, how to clarify the specific cause and choose the corresponding treatment, and whether some treatment methods are suitable for PT still require further research and discussion. This article reviews the literatures related to the treatment of PT in recent years, summarizes the common clinical causes of PT and the research progress of corresponding treatments, aiming to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PT.
