    BackgroundPulse-synchronous tinnitus is rare, and it almost always points toward a vascular pathology.Case DescriptionWe encountered a 56-year-old patient presenting with a 3-month history of right-side tinnitus who was found to have a sigmoid sinus aneurysm after initial imaging. The patient was managed successfully with dual endovascular access and stent placement across the aneurysm, with a subsequent complete symptomatic relief.ConclusionsDescription of the endovascular management of sigmoid sinus aneurysm is not infrequent in the literature. This report provides a brief review of the available literature specifically addressing the management strategies.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
