Clinical Predictors of Pulsatile Tinnitus in Patients With Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: An Age-Matched Cohort Study.

Introduction: Pulsatile tinnitus (PT) occurs in many but not all patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). It is poorly understood why some patients with IIH develop PT, yet others do not. The purpose of this study was to determine if any clinical findings differ between those with and without PT in IIH, potentially shedding light on a pathophysiologic mechanism.

A Novel Approach to Improving Post-Operative Pain and Minimizing Opioid Consumption After a Hip Arthroscopy.

Background: There have been many different approaches to controlling pain in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. These include medications, nerve blocks, and intra-articular injections among many others. We introduced a combination of a pre-operative pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, and intra-operative pericapsular injection of BKK (bupivacaine, ketamine, and ketorolac).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension With and Without Pulsatile Tinnitus: An Age-Matched Cohort Study.

Objective: Many but not all patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) have pulsatile tinnitus (PT). However, little is known about why some patients with IIH develop PT and others do not. The purpose of this study was to determine if any of the classic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detectable markers of IIH differ between patients with and without PT, thereby shedding light on potential pathophysiology.
