Description
Nam, Lee, and Song review surgery for pulsing ear noise from sinus wall flaws. A diverticulum or thin spot in the sigmoid sinus can cause the sound. Scans of the temporal bone and veins sort true causes. Other causes include fistulas, high jugular bulbs, and pressure states. Strict match of symptoms and scans guides case choice.
Surgery paths include wall resurfacing and re-roofing with bone. Some cases need sac removal plus layered rebuild. Vessel-based routes offer an alternative for set cases. The review weighs materials like bone cement and grafts. Red flags mark cases where surgery may fail or harm.
