Ligation of the internal jugular vein in venous hum tinnitus

Abstract: Vascular anomalies, extracranial and intracranial arteriovenous malformations as well as glomus jugulare tumour are well known causes of pulsatile tinnitus. Of late, benign intracranial hypertension has been stated to be a more common cause. However, tinnitus arising from and within the internal jugular vein has been reported only infrequently. Previously known as cephalic bruit and essential objective tinnitus, the venous hum tinnitus presents as pulse synchronous unilateral objective tinnitus. Ligation of th… Show more

“…If compression of the jugular vein is a possible cause [17], a neck CT may be performed that extends to the upper mediastinum to include the entire course of the jugular veins. Because dural arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) can be radiographically occult on cross-sectional imaging, conventional catheter angiography is sometimes needed to exclude these lesions [18].…”

“…Patients with increased venous flow, such as those with thyrotoxicosis or increased cardiac output from anemia, may experience this hum as tinnitus [17]. Alternatively, compression of the proximal jugular vein may causes turbulent flow resulting in tinnitus.…”

“…A ligadura da carótida não é efetiva para estes casos e não deve ser realizada. Nossas evidências à respeito do tratamento do hum venoso são discordantes com a literatura onde o tratamento cirúrgico é descrito como realizado com relativa freqüência 8,14,15 . Achamos que tal abordagem deve ser reservada somente aos casos em que nenhuma melhora seja obtida com outras tentativas clínicas de tratamento e o paciente se sinta muito prejudicado pelo problema.…”

“…O zumbido decorrente é caracterizado como sendo pulsátil, rítmico, síncrono com o batimento cardíaco, do tipo crescendo-decrescendo, contínuo ou intermitente, podendo aparecer e desaparecer por meses ou anos durante a vida. Uma das características mais marcantes deste tipo de zumbido é o seu desaparecimento pela compressão digital do trajeto da veia jugular interna na região cervical do mesmo lado do zumbido, manobra de Valsalva e quando o paciente encosta a cabeça no travesseiro ou sobre a mão do mesmo lado do zumbido 2,7,8 . Pode haver piora com a rotação da cabeça para o lado contralateral, pela compressão da veia jugular no lado acometido pelo processo transverso da segunda vérte-bra cervical (C2), passando o fluxo de laminar para turbilhonar, sendo percebido pelo paciente como zumbido pulsátil 9 .…”

“…Venous Obstruction. Although venous hums are common in asymptomatic persons, 57 the compression of the jugular vein in the neck or mediastinal venous compression may cause tinnitus due to turbulent blood flow. When a detailed CT or MR imaging study of the temporal bone fails to disclose a cause for pulsatile tinnitus in a patient, it may be useful to image the neck and the superior mediastinum to search for a mass compressing the internal jugular vein anywhere along its course.…”
