Core Tip
Core Tip: Pulsatile tinnitus is a potential disease that has attracted considerable attention recently. Multiple causes of pulsatile tinnitus have been identified by targeted treatment. However, the dynamic CT changes of related structures after stenting for transverse sinus stenosis have never been reported. In this case, four postoperative computed tomography venography examinations were performed to demonstrate the dynamic changes in the sigmoid sinus wall anomalies and transverse sinus stenosis. Stenting relieved transverse sinus stenosis, reduced intracranial pressure, and eliminated tinnitus. A decreased sigmoid sinus diverticulum and bone remodeling represent more significant findings.
