Objective To investigate the effect of sigmoid sinus constriction on pulsating tinnitus. Methods Eleven patients with severe pulsatile tinnitus admitted to the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from Aug 2014 to Aug 2019 were included in this study. They were evaluated using tinnitus disability quantitative table (THI) and diagnosed as unilateral objective pulsatile tinnitus involving right ear in 9 cases and left in 2. Preoperative temporal bone CT examination revealed right sigmoid sinus diverticulum in 9 cases, left sigmoid sinus diverticulum in one and left sigmoid sinus diverticulum with bone wall defect in another. All the patients were treated with sigmoid sinus constriction and the therapeutic effect was observed. Results All the patients were evaluated for tinnitus by THI and tinnitus function index (TFI). Of them, pulsatile tinnitus disappeared immediately after operation in 10 cases, and tinnitus loudness was significantly reduced in one and tinnitus was basically eliminated in one year. Conclusion With advantages of minor surgical trauma and low surgical risk, sigmoid sinus constriction is the best surgical method to treat pulsating tinnitus caused by diverticula of sigmoid sinus and bone wall defect and is worth promoting clinically.
