Systematic Review of the Diagnostic Imaging Evaluation of Pulsatile Tinnitus.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Aggregate published data on the imaging of pulsatile tinnitus as a step toward building a framework for an evidence-based approach to diagnostic imaging for this symptom.

Materials & methods

A systematic review was performed. PUBMED and EMBASE were searched on December 1, 2021 for English-language articles on diagnostic imaging of pulsatile tinnitus. Articles that involved non-standard imaging techniques and those that focused on management of pulsatile tinnitus were excluded. Extracted data included: number of males and females; signs, symptoms, and physical examination findings with associated patient counts; imaging findings; count of patients with imaging-identified cause of pulsatile tinnitus; reported associated interventions and outcomes.
