Abstract EN
A patient is described with a right-sided tortuous siphon-like extracranial internal carotid artery leading to highly distressing ipsilateral heart beat synchronous pulsatile tinnitus, scoring 9/10 measuring loudness.
Dilating the balloon during the occlusion test in or distal to the siphon-like anomaly reduces the arterial pulsations.
Subsequently, surgery is performed using Teflon as an external construct to straighten the siphon-like anomaly.
Postoperatively, the pulsations improve to 5/10 in a standing position and disappear during a reclined position.
By adding a hearing aid, the pulsations are almost completely gone during a standing position (1/10) and remain absent in a reclined position.
