The relationship between tinnitus and vascular anomalies on temporal bone CT scan: a retrospective case control study.

Introduction: Tinnitus is a common symptom in which etiology is unclear in a group of patients. Some of anatomic or vascular variations diagnosed on temporal bone computed tomography (CT) has been known to cause tinnitus particulary pulsatile form. Therefore significance of these anatomic variations has not been validated in patients with nonpulsatile tinnitus.
