Tinnitus is a common symptom encountered by otolaryngologists. Pulsatile tinnitus is rare and can present a diagnostic challenge. Establishing a diagnosis is important, because pulsatile tinnitus may indicate serious intracranial or extracranial disease. A unique case of pulsatile tinnitus caused by cervical artery dissection is presented, along with the differential diagnosis and treatment.
