Case Reports[Use of embolization in the treatment of pulsatile tinnitus secondary to dural arteriovenous fistula].
Three cases of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in patients who consulted for pulsatile tinnitus are reported. All were treated successfully by embolization. ⋯ If treatment is needed, embolization, surgery, or radiotherapy may be indicated either separately or in combination therapy. The numerous branches and site of the fistula make therapeutic embolization the procedure of choice for many cases.
