1
Hello, my name is Dr. Fazeev Siddiqui.
2
I'm a clinical adjunct professor at the University of Michigan at Michigan State University.
3
Today, I will guide you through the evaluation of pulsatile tinnitus, a condition that can reveal critical underlying vascular abnormalities.
4
Pulsed-style tinnitus is a rhythmic sound often in sync with the heartbeat.
5
Unlike common tinnitus, typically a ringing sound, pulsed-style tinnitus is often caused by vascular abnormalities that create vibrations transmitted to the ear.
6
Pulse slide tinnitus can be heard as whooshing, thumping, or whooping noises.
7
A thorough assessment is crucial.
8
The first step, always take a comprehensive history.
9
Ask about the timing and onset and if it's unilateral or bilateral.
10
Next, move to the physical exam.
11
Pay close attention to blood pressure as hypertension can contribute.
12
Don't forget to auscultate the neck and skull for any bruise, indicating turbulent blood flow pointing to an underlying vascular issue.
13
If the initial assessment is concerning, the next step is imaging.
14
A brain MRI with MR angiography
15
or a CT angiogram is typically the first line modality to evaluate for vascular abnormalities like arteriovenous malformation or dural fistula.
16
A diagnostic cerebral endogram can be performed if there is a strong suspicion on screening non-invasive imaging.
17
Common causes include arteriovenous malformation, dural arteriovenous fistula, and carotid artery stenosis.
18
Other less common causes include venous sinus stenosis, sigmoid diverticulum, aberrant carotid artery, and cerebral aneurysm.
19
Recognizing these early can prevent severe complications like a stroke or hemorrhage.
20
A dual arterial systula is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins within the dual matter.
21
This bypasses the normal capillary system, forcing high-pressure arterial blood directly into the venous system.
22
The result is turbulent blood flow in the dual venous sinuses.
23
This turbulence generates vibrations which can be transmitted through the surrounding tissue to the cochlea, causing pulsed tinnitus.
24
If left untreated, dural arterioleus fistula can lead to complications like intracranial hemorrhage or venous congestion, making early diagnosis critical.
25
Another common vascular cause of pulsed tinnitus is carotid artery stenosis, which occurs when and the carotid artery narrows due to plaque buildup or other factors.
26
This narrowing creates turbulent blood flow as the high-pressure blood moves through the constricted segment.
27
Carotid artery stenosis is a significant risk for ischemic stroke and, if identified early, can be managed safely with carotid enderectomy or stenting.
28
Venous disorders are another important cause of pustile tinnitus.
29
Common conditions include venous sinus stenosis, which narrows major venous pathways like the the transfer sinus or sigmoid sinus,
30
leading to turbulent blood flow and elevated venous pressure.
31
Other venous causes include jugular bulb abnormalities, such as high riding bulb or diverticulum, which may create vibrations that propagate to the inner ear.
32
Recognizing venous causes early is crucial, as they may contribute to symptoms of intracanial hypertension or other complications requiring targeted treatment.
33
Let's look at a quick case.
34
A 78-year-old man with a remote history of pulsoil tinnitus presented with headaches.
35
An MRI brain revealed a cerebellar hematoma.
36
A diagnostic angiogram demonstrated a high-grade complex arteriovenous fistula with multiple arterial feeders.
37
Multiple arterial embolization attempts could not completely resolve the fistula.
38
Hence, a coil embolization of the non-functional left transfer sinus was performed.
39
A complete cure was achieved after the venous sinus sacrifice the patient did well clinically the patient did well clinically.
40
To sum up, pulse light tinnitus should always prompt a careful history, physical exam, and if needed, vascular imaging.
41
Early identification of vascular causes is essential for preventing complications.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
