Abstract
Pulsatile tinnitus may result from turbulent flow within the ipsilater al internal carotid artery. Surgical endarterectomy and carotid artery ligation have been used to treat atherosclerotic stenosis with or wit hout associated pulsatile tinnitus. To our knowledge, this is the firs t reported case of pulsatile tinnitus, attributable to internal caroti d artery stenosis, successfully treated by angioplasty and stenting.
