Abstract
VARGAS, Oliverio et al. Endovascular Occlusion Of Aberrant Internal Carotid Artery Causing Tinnitus. Rev Ecuat Neurol [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.2, pp.96-99. ISSN 2631-2581.
We present a case of a 43-years old male patient with a history of chronic and intractable pulsatile tinnitus due to an aberrant course of the right internal carotid artery. In complementary studies, the angiography showed a preserved Willis’ arterial polygon and a balloon-occlusion test with adequate patency and no neurological symptoms. We performed the endovascular occlusion of the right internal carotid artery in the petrous and lacerum portions with the relief of symptoms.
