We describe a rare case of highly invalidating pulsatile tinnitus associated with both stenosis of the sigmoid sinus and ipsilateral jugular bulb diverticulum. Both conditions were successfully treated by positioning a stent across the sigmoid sinus and jugular bulb. To our knowledge, the present clinical case represents the first report of such an approach. The therapeutic decision-making is discussed in relation to the etiopathologic hypothesis put forward.
我们描述了一例罕见的严重搏动性耳鸣病例，该病例与乙状窦狭窄和同侧颈静脉球憩室均有关。这两种情况均通过在乙状窦和颈静脉球放置支架得到成功治疗。据我们所知，目前的临床病例代表了这种方法的首例报告。治疗决策与提出的病因假说有关。
