A case of permanent pulsatile tinnitus of the left ear in a patient with hypertriglyceridemia is reported. The combined radiological study with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and digital angiography excluded a glomus tumor and revealed an enlarged, high-position jugular bulb with slow blood flow. Causes of pulsatile tinnitus are discussed. We conclude that imaging techniques play a major role in the diagnosis of head and neck vascular abnormalities.
报告了一例高甘油三酯血症患者左耳永久性搏动性耳鸣的病例。计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和数字血管造影的联合影像学研究排除了颈静脉球瘤，并显示颈静脉球增大、位置较高且血流缓慢。文中讨论了搏动性耳鸣的病因。我们得出结论，成像技术在头颈部血管异常的诊断中起主要作用。
