Abstract
Tinnitus is a commun entity, as it’s pulsatile characteristics, it’s important to identify
its etiology given the risk and morbidity that entails, such as tumors of vascular
origin or arteriovenous malformations. Objective: to describe the clinical case of a
patient with pulsatile tinnitus associated with an arteriovenous shunt of dural origin,
this patient received endovascular treatment. Results: To show the clinical followup
and endovascular findings of a patient with pulsatile tinnitus with arteriovenous
malformation who required endovascular treatment, the patient shows resolution
of symptoms in the follow-up at 18 months. Discussion: The importance of studying
patients with pulsatile tinnitus lies in determining possible causes of vascular
origin that explain their symptoms, wich’re mostly not evident in the initial evaluation.
Conclusion: Making an adequate diagnosis allows optimizing the treatment
of each patient, in pulsatile tinnitus associated with arteriovenous shunts, selective
embolization’s usually successful and safe, allowing the symptoms to be completely
resolved.
