RESUMO
A case of a 58-year-old man with right pulsatile tinnitus originating from a small dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) of the jugular bulb is described. The tinnitus was alleviated by contralateral neck compression. This unusual observation ruled out venous pulsatile tinnitus, although a temporal bone CT scan showed a high jugular bulb. The fistula was confirmed by angiographic study. The patient was treated by transarterial embolization of the fistula and remains free of symptoms 1 year after treatment.
